Product Description
Lindenmayer Systems are a mathematical formalism which was proposed by Aristid Lindenmayer in 1968 as a foundation for an axiomatic theory of development. This book presents the application of Lindenmayer Systems and Fractal Geometry to graphics-based plant modelling, a fascinating approach to visualizing growth functions in plants. For life scientists, mathematicians and computer scientists alike, this book will provide a unique and stimulating view at an interdisciplinary field of science.

Lecture Notes in Biomathematics?? September 19, 2000
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Well this gem of a book is hidden away in the biology section of my local library. Not the easiest of places for somebody interested in computer graphics to find.This book is a great place to start if your looking for an introduction to 2D and 3D plant/organism structural modelling using computer graphics, such as modelling plant and leaf structures as well as bacteria and the like. It discusses the various types of Lindenmayer Systems and has some program code in the appendix, though the code is of poor quality. Most of the information contained in this book is also available in "The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants (The Virtual Laboratory) by Przemyslaw Prusinkiewicz, Aristid Lindenmayer". Which covers much more, such as plant organs, such as fruit and flowers.
