L system homework

Question 1(a) Perimeter is about 360 since there are 360 segments in total. Radius = 360/2pi = 180/pi

Question 1(b) Perimeter is also 360. So, radius is also 180/pi.

Question 1(c) Total turning of angle on a closed 2D surface path is 360. Thus, the turning over then arc is A+B.

Question 2

Peach tree

This tree is in my neighbor’s back yard. The photo is taken 2 months ago. My neighbor is really nice to allow me pick up fruits from the tree. The fruits are really yummy! I love it and decided to make a memory for this tree. Features like peaches hidden in the leaves, Y shape branches, uneven distribution of the tree crown are captured.

Dandelion

I found many dandelions on the grass land after raining. When the wind blows, the seeds are flying with their small parachutes. They are nice looking small creatures. Features of flying dandelion shapes are captured.

Lavendar

Lavendar has a nice smell for me. They have sticklike shapes with little purple flowers on the sides. The straight overall shape of a single Lavendar branch is captured in the L system work.

I used my own inkjet Printer to print the peach tree plot on fabrics. The process is pretty easy and smooth. I tailored it properly and used it as a bookmark. It works great.

  1. Hello Lin, your bookmark turned out beautify. I love the touch of the string you added to the top and the overall monotone values in the colors you chose. I have a peach tree in my backyard and almost decided to do it as well. However my peach tree is a little slow and the peaches are just now starting to ripen.
