Cayley graph

All of my projects to date have required step by step instructions (some upwards of 300 lines of code!), so I decided to have a go at working out how to create a recursive code. After studying "Cayley graph 3D" working out in my head how the code was constructed, I was finally able to start my own. The following is based on an image of 

Cayley Graph of the Free Product Z3 * Z5

After much trial and error I was able to develop ...

In my previous blog, I explained about a recursive tree procedure. Here is another one borrowed from Joshua's Logo Interpreter example: fern leaf procedure. This fern leaf procedure creates a 2D fern leaf in VRMath2's 3D space. You can examine it below in the 3D space with the LOGO program.

Recursive 2D tree

One of the powerful abilities of LOGO programming language is its recursive execution of procedure. Recursive call of procedure means a procedure calls itself until an exiting condition is met. A recursive procedure can be very simple yet it can produce complex and beautiful mathematical graphics such as fractal images and naturally occurring objects.
