- Documentation
-
- Documentation for the program is found in graphtal.1 in
- [nt]roff form (process with the -man macros), and in graphtal.cat
- in lineprinter form.
-
- Porting
-
- The code has been compiled and tested using AT&T C++ 2.0, AT&T 3.0,
- Sun C++ 2.1, Sun C++ 3.0, g++ 2.2.2 on Sun Sparc Stations, with
- AT&T C++ 2.0 on IBM RS/6000 and with DEC C++ 1.0 and g++ on a
- DEC Station running ultrix.
-
- To generate the parser and lexical analyser you will need the compiler
- tools bison and flex.
-
- Examples
-
- See the example directory for more information on the language used
- in graphtal. Some of them are drawn from the book:
- The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants by P. Prusinkiewicz and A. Lindenmayer
- (Springer Verlag).
-
- Please send bugs (accompanied by L-systems causing them),
- interesting L-systems for inclusion in the release, enhancements,
- and suggestions to the author via email.

- Acknowledgements
-
- It's impossible to write a software package without refering to ideas
- and code from other people's work. Here's the list with their names and
- distributions to graphtal:
-
- - Craig E. Kolb who wrote the raytracer 'rayshade'. You'll find parts
- of his intersection routines integrated in graphtal. Rayshade is
- available by anonymous FTP in
- wuarchive.wustl.edu:/graphics/graphics/ray/rayshade.
-
- - Jonathan P. Leech (leech@cs.unc.edu) who made the L-system package
- 'lsys' available. His contributions are:
-
- - the idea and portions of the implementation of classes Value
- and Name,
- - the SinCos function in class TransMatrix,
- - portions of this README file and the man page,
- - and a lot of inspirations.
-
- BTW: 'lsys' is available by anonymous FTP in
- dopey.cs.unc.edu:pub/lsys.tar.Z or
- iuvax.cs.indiana.edu:pub/alive/software/unix/Lsys/lsys.tar.Z
-
- Thank you very much.
