fractal curves generator

This is an:

• line fractal generator
• coding experience Line fractal generator

It is a fractal generator what can use all the curve from the book http://www.fractalcurves.com/HorrorVacui.html

Update 2022.12.29:

Uploaded the v2 with improved speed.

Usage:

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) (this is changed with v2)

Coding experience

First I wrote the generator code in java, and the output was an svg file.
But because 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.
