C program for UNIX which displays wireframe trees in X Windows. The program generates corresponding .pov file for each tree to render that tree in POV-ray and see it not in the wireframe version. Java applet which displays wireframe trees through a Java-capable web browser. Previous works and problem description. All algorithms used for building the trees can be divided into two categories.
First category consists of so-called 'growing trees' algorithms.
These types of algorithms are based on the biological model of a tree and try to simulate the actual process of the tree growth. Algorithms that belong to the second category try to recreate geometry of a tree without touching its biological origins. Trees made using algorithms of the first type are more realistic than those made using algorithms of the second type, but are much slower. In our project we have decided to implement an algorithm from the second category. Looking at the great number of trees we noticed that by constructing a single building block, basically a branch, we can then recursively reconstruct the whole tree structure by just varying different input parameters of that block.
