The definitions show how to create 2D Branching Structures using RABBIT.

More about Branching Structures: http://algorithmicbotany.org/papers/abop/abop-ch1.pdf

The meanings of the symbols:

F move forward at distance L(Step Length) and draw a line
f move forward at distance L(Step Length) without drawing a line
+ turn left A(Default Angle) degrees
turn right A(Default Angle) degrees
roll left A(Default Angle) degrees
/ roll right A(Default Angle) degrees
^ pitch up A(Default Angle) degrees
& pitch down A(Default Angle) degrees
| turn around 180 degrees
J insert point at this position
multiply current length by dL(Length Scale)
! multiply current thickness by dT(Thickness Scale)
[ start a branch(push turtle state)
] end a branch(pop turtle state)
A/B/C/D.. placeholders, used to nest other symbols

    Hello MORPHOCODE!

    Is there a symbol to express the angle scale? It would be very useful. Thanks (:

    Hi there,

    no, in the current version there’s no symbol to control the angle scale. This is something we plan to add in the next releases.

    Greetings

    Good day!
    Help please, how to write and build with the help of Rabbit a three-dimensional bush-like structure
    n=7, δ=22.5
    ω : A
    p1 : A → [&FL!A]/////’[&FL!A]///////’[&FL!A]
    p2 : F → S ///// F
    p3 : S → F L
    p4 : L → [’’’∧∧{-f+f+f-|-f+f+f}]

    Hello,
    I was able to install the plugin without an issue, but I am getting an error “Could not load file or assembly Rhino_DotNet, Vers…eutral, PublicKeyToken=552281e97c755530 or one of its dependencies” when opening either of the files above on the turtle component so it won’t run. I am running Rhino 5 on a Mac. Any idea how to solve this?
