Title: Help with fractals
Post by: talitaperciano on April 25, 2009, 02:41:25 AM
Hi people,

I started studying fractals recently... I would like to know if there is a way to build fractals of rivers networks, roads networks, plant roots or something similar (tree structures with ramifications).

Thank you in advance,

Talita

Greetings, and welcome to this particular forum!!!    :)

I would like to know if there is a way to build fractals of rivers networks, roads networks,
plant roots or something similar (tree structures with ramifications).

Have you heard of An L-system or Lindenmayer system??  One place to start reading online is at this link:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-system (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-system)
There will be several references and other links there that may further assist with your studying of fractals.
