This is the author's third venture into creating artistic images from simple two-dimensional structures.

The idea behind this Demonstration is the growth of crystals (think of snowflakes, etc.). Starting with a symmetrical shape, more (usually smaller) shapes are added at each corner, then even more (and even smaller) shapes are added at each corner of the small shapes.

Randomizing buttons ("rl*" and "rl") allow you to easily create thousands of artistic images of great variety. Use the many controls to fine-tune your creations. Explore!
