Tree

Sit back and watch this applet paint a tree. The ingredients are a type of fractal, much math, a lot of random-numbers and an anti-aliasing-algorithm. Feel free to play with the parameters embedded in the html-code!

Author's Notes:
Do not exaggerate with the parameters. You get trees of infinite size - which needs infinite cpu-usage, of course. ;) Since the applet can draw an infinite number of different trees, you can click your mouse into the applet after a tree is completed to see a different one beeing painted.

Compiled with jdk1.3.1, but it also runs with older versions of java.

Sample HTML Source:

<applet code="Tree.class" 
	archive="tree.jar" 
	width="450" 
	height="450">
 
  <! Of course you can change the width/height of the applet. 
  	Big applets reveal much more detail, but take longer to render, 
	of course>
  <! Tip: You get good results with a width/height of 700 and 
  	a lengthMinimum-parameter of 100!>
  <! Another tip: If you increase the applets size, try to 
  	increase the lengthMinimum-parameter as well, 
    because a big applet doesn't need that much detail!>
