chaospro confuses lsystem angles ... or what am i doing wrong ?

[cKleinhuis]

hi there,

my goal is to create a high resolution of the koch curve with 85 degree angle
chaospro seems to be one of the programms with a decent lsystem editor

BUT

what does this program use to define the angles !? in the lsystem formula editor for the koch kurve there stands as angle the value of "5" but how does this reflect the 45 degrees ?!

and this is the result i would like to have in high resolution:

any help !? how to enter REAL angles in the lsystem formula editor of chaospro !??!

You can mail to Martin. He is pretty responsive. E-mail adress is in Chaos Pro.

But L-system is based on certain descriptive laws like %^$^Lb5. So 5  stands for certain degree and % stands for something like go forward or like this.

I know that the ChaosPro formulas have some sort of reference to FractInt; whether it's exactly the same or not I don't know.  But if it does follow the same rules, then the Angle parameter is an integer divisor.  In your case above, according to the FractInt implementation the angle in degrees would be 360/5 = 72°.

From the FractInt documentation:

The statement "angle n" sets the angle to 360/n degrees; n must be an integer greater than two, and less than fifty.

ah thanks, very strange
