Fractal Tree Description

The Fractal Tree application was developed to be a small program that shows how trees are made using a simple fractal algorithm.A fractal is a shape that is symmetric in scale, meaning that it looks the same, or similar, magnified as it does unmagnified. There are many naturally occurring objects that exhibit this self-similarity in scale. Trees, coastlines, mountain ranges, and clouds are some examples.A fractal is typically made using recursion. Given a line segment, and operation is performed on that segment which generally yields one or more new segments. The same operation is then performed again, on the new segments. In order to prevent the program from going into an infinite loop, the recursion algorithm usually includes a test that prevents it from operating on a segment smaller than a single pixel.
