I added a quick GUI to the lindenmayer system...
grab it: http://tux4kids.net/~jdandr2/cairo/
But be careful if you intend to use CLS! LSystems tend to grow
exponentially! Thus if you put an exponentially large LSystem to be
rendered, it CAN (and has!) crashed X (at least on my system!)
If you wish to reproduce the crash, just say 8 iterations, and do a
production like: f->f[+f]ffffffffff
If that doesn't work, play around or email me... I am not going to try
to crash it again since I lost some work that I need to recreate ...
(not blaming ... cairo is pre-alpha ... my stupidity ...)
Pretty sure it wasn't my code, because I doubt python on its own can
crash X ... but funnier things have happened...
Besides that have fun!
Jesse
ps. right now the gui is limited to 1 production rules (ie. no Peano
Curves right now!)
