   1 DESCRIPTION
   2 -----------
   3
   4 LSystem3d is a experimental Lindenmayer System generator with 3d capabilities,
   5 whose main goal is to generate all kinds of plants or whatever fractal
   6 L-system structures the user desires. For now, LSystem3D is highly under
   7 development and is considered alpha, that is, lots of things are missing and
   8 it will probably not work 100% accurate.
