iniTreeStructure (iniTree with vertices output)

LukeNeo's picture

Some days ago I posted iniTree plugin, that allow to draw recursive ternary trees. Gtoledo suggested to rewrite the plugin as a provider. Asking the community what is the best way to output a structure from a QCplugin, I used the method suggested by dust, and the implemented iniTreeStructure, which is a iniTree plugin witch outputs vertices positions.

Inputs:

  • numDiv (1-3): how many branches will have your tree.
  • growDelay: how much time the tree branches will spend in growing/shrinking.
  • aperture: tree aperture.
  • add/remove level: add/remove tree level.

Outputs:

  • vertices: tree vertices positions. They are ordered so as to be rendered using GL_LINES, so if you attach this output to GL line structure and use line type Line segments, the output will be right.

Re: iniTreeStructure (iniTree with vertices output)

nice one. pretty interesting. gl tools isn't running on my machine but i was able to swap out the gl structures for cl mesh creators and seems to run pretty well. had a few crashes but i think i was pushing the iteration count to high maybe.

nice share i actually think i might make a quick little render of some trees as the documentary I'm making for a class needs a trees of life, cell structures, and particle non locality graphics to go along with the osteopathic quantum physics principles of the doctor I'm filming.

i have been messing around looking at some various tree structures. like with turtle graphics and l system style tree fractals etc... was thinking about franz's plugin but this one is pretty cool to.

Thank you Guys! :)

@ dust: Feel free to use this plugin, I'm curious to see the possible applications of iniTreeStructure you have in mind. Just let me know if you'll use it in something concrete.

Hi! LukeNEO! I thought that it could be interesting for you to make the same plug-in but with the 3d Julia set? Here's a simple realization http://kineme.net/forum/DevelopingCompositions/InverseIterationsMethodII...
