Abstract
The geometric interpretation of strings used in the previous chapter to generate schematic images of Anabaena catenula was a very straightforward one. Letters of the L-system alphabet were represented graphically as shorter or longer rectangles with rounded corners. The generated structures were essentially one-dimensional chains of rectangles reflecting the sequence of symbols in the corresponding strings.
