Inspired by a woodland hike under the first blue skies we've seen this year, I got home and showed my kiddo how to draw an tree with recursive functions. The shape is very sensitive to parameters like the factors by which each branch is thinner and shorter than its parents, but we tuned them until our results looked like the trees we'd seen in the afternoon.

Vector graphics of clear blue skies behind the dark silhouette of a winter leafless fractal tree, bifurcating iteratively from a stout trunk to a flurry of tiny twigs.

Pushed to github.com/tartley/tree-art.

I show an image there which squeezes out a couple of extra iterations (-i18) on the branches, giving them a less sparse, fluffier appearance towards the ends, this generates a 100MB SVG and beyond that, my SVG viewing and conversion tools start to barf.
