1. EPS 109 Final Project: An Attempt at Fractal Plants Natalie Mezaki SWEET CHERRIES

2. The Method Goals: Create a plant that showed fractal like self similarity Make that plant beautiful The Code: Two different scripts a function that draws the arms (branches and flowers) and shortens/rotates them as it iterates (modified twice for different colors and the other trees) Uses two rotation matrices to angle the branches, tries to color every other branch drawn a different color The main script which draws the stems, sets the background, and calls the plantarms function The Outcome: Original idea for the angles of the branches proved difficult to get right, so I decided to lengthen the stems into tree trunks and try to make something aesthetically pleasing but still reminiscent of a fractal plant

3. Sweet Cherries Run my movie: Open -plantarms.m -pinkarms.m -redarms.m Run -plant.m Change theta and eta for different shaped trees
