L-system fractal generator
Grow fractals from a Lindenmayer system: an axiom string rewritten by production rules, then drawn as turtle graphics. Type your own axiom, rules and angle, or load presets for the Koch snowflake, Heighway dragon, fractal plants and trees — each one blossoms from a handful of symbols.

Frequently asked questions
What is L-system fractal generator?
Grow fractals from a Lindenmayer system: an axiom string rewritten by production rules, then drawn as turtle graphics. Type your own axiom, rules and angle, or load presets for the Koch snowflake, Heighway dragon, fractal plants and trees — each one blossoms from a handful of symbols.
What does a concrete case look like?
F → F+F−F−F+F (Koch) — the tool shows every step in between, not just the final figure.
What does it take into account?
It factors in an axiom string rewritten by production rules, then drawn as turtle graphics. Type your own axiom, rules and angle, or load presets for the Koch snowflake, Heighway dragon, fractal plants and trees — each one blossoms from a handful of symbols. Change any of them and the output follows immediately.
When would I actually use this?
Homework and site work alike: how much paint a wall takes, how much water a tank holds, whether a corner is square — and, on the coordinate side, the slope between two points, the distance across a plan, the midpoint of a span.
What is the most common mistake?
Mixing units inside one shape. Entering a length in centimetres and a width in metres gives an area wrong by a factor of a hundred, and the result looks perfectly plausible.
How is L-system fractal generator different from System of Inequalities Grapher?
They sit next to each other but answer different questions: System of Inequalities Grapher is the one to open when you need it to graph a system of linear inequalities in x and y: shade the feasible region, draw each boundary (dashed for strict), list the region's vertices and tell you whether it is bounded, unbounded or empty. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.
Is there a tool for the next step?
System of Linear Equations Solver is the closest one after this: Solve 2×2, 3×3 and 4×4 linear systems by Gaussian elimination, Cramer's rule or the matrix inverse — with the determinant, step-by-step working, and detection of no-solution and infinite-solution cases.
What else is worth having open alongside it?
System of Nonlinear Equations Solver and System of ODEs Solver — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.
Where do the figures come from?
The formulas are the classical ones and the results are exact to the precision shown — geometry does not change with the year or the country, so nothing here needs updating.
