fractal curves generator

This is an: - line fractal generator - coding experience Line fractal generator ---------------------------- It is a fractal generator what can use all the curver from the book http://www.fractalcurves.com/HorrorVacui.html There is some simple parameter: - Width: width of the line - Height: height of the line - Length: base length of the curve. the length of the pattern in the 0. iteration - Deep: number of iteration - Grid: grid type of the pattern: can be "square", or "triangle" - Mode: drawing mode, can be "line" or "spline". "Line" is faster, but "spline" look better - Steps: in the "spline" drawing mode how many segment need to draw the curve. - Pattern: pattern of the line. It is a two dimensional array, it is the same as the "segment values" in the webpage (without line number) The preview can be fast but the rendering is very slow (a 6 deep line with spline take about 5-6 hour, a 8 deep with line take about 3-4 hour) Coding experience ---------------------------- First I wrote the generator code in java, and the output was an svg file. But for printing it take lots of manual work: - give the svg line width - reduce the complexity to add more point and change the curves to lines - extrude the svg in openscad every step needed different tool, and lots of time. I'd like to rewrite the code in openscad.
