\LPack{pst-lsystem} loads by default the following packages:  \LPack{pst-xkey}, and, of course \LPack{pstricks}.
All should be already part of your local \TeX\ installation. If not, or in case
of having older versions, go to \url{http://www.CTAN.org/} and load the newest version.

\section{Introduction}
A L-system or Lindenmayer system is a parallel rewriting system and a type of 
formal grammar. An L-system consists of an alphabet of symbols that can be used 
to make strings, a collection of production rules that expand each symbol into 
some larger string of symbols, an initial »axiom« string from which to begin construction, 
and a mechanism for translating the generated strings into geometric structures. 
L-systems were introduced and developed in 1968 by Aristid Lindenmayer, 
a Hungarian theoretical biologist and botanist at the University of Utrecht.~\cite{wikipedia}


\section{Usage}
There are no optional arguments for the package:
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage{pst-lsystem}
\end{verbatim}

There is only one command:

\begin{BDef}
\Lcs{pslsystem}\OptArgs\Largr{x,y}
\end{BDef}

If the coordinates for the origin are missing, then $(0,0)$ is assumed. The L-System ist
defined by the three functions $F$, $X$, and $Y$. At least one function must be given.

\subsection{Optional arguments}

The following optional arguments for the macro are possible:

\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{@{} l l X @{}}\toprule
\emph{name} & \emph{default} & \emph{menaing}\\\midrule 
\Lkeyword{F} & & Rule $F\rightarrow(F)$\\
\Lkeyword{X} & & Rule $X\rightarrow(F,X,Y)$\\
\Lkeyword{Y} & & Rule $Y\rightarrow(F,X,Y)$\\
\Lkeyword{Start} & & Startrule $S\rightarrow(F,X,Y)$\\
\Lkeyword{Angle} & 0 & Angle for the drection change\\
\Lkeyword{N} & 5 & Number of the recursive calls\\
\Lkeyword{Ftype} & 4 & How the F-rule should handled\\
\Lkeyword{BaseLength} & 1mm & The length of a base line, created by the ruke F (Forward)\\
\Lkeyword{usecolor} & 0 & Which color should be used for the lines.\\
%\define@key[psset]{pst-lsystem}{order}[5]{\pst@getint{#1}\psk@lsystem@order}
%\define@key[psset]{pst-lsystem}{factor}[2]{\pst@checknum{#1}\psk@lsystem@factor}
% Size (the smaller, the bigger), no need to be changed, normally
%\define@key[psset]{pst-lsystem}{size}[4]{\pst@getint{#1}\psk@lsystem@size}
%\define@key[psset]{pst-lsystem}{type}[0]{\pst@getint{#1}\psk@lsystem@type}
\bottomrule
\end{tabularx}

If the rules contain square brackets then it must be enclosed by braces:
\verb|X=F[-X]| is wrong and \verb|X={F[-X]}| is correct.

\subsection{Different types for the F-rule}

It depends to the given rule(s) what kind of the F-type must be used.
There are four possibilities:

\begin{verbatim}
\ifcase\psk@lsystem@Ftype
  /F { D } def    % type 0
\or % 1
  /F { 0 eq { D } if } def 
\or % 2
  /F { dup 0 eq { D } if } def 
\or % 3
  /F { pop D } def 
\else % 4
  /F { dup 0 eq { D }{ 1 sub \psk@lsystem@Fnumber {dup} repeat \psk@lsystem@F } ifelse pop } def
\fi
\end{verbatim}

The function D does nothing else than drawing a line in the current direction.
Its length is given by the optional parameter BaseLength.

\subsection{Color}
There are four predefined color modes, where mode=0 is no color.


\psset{linewidth=0.1pt}

\section{Examples}
\subsection{Dragon}
\begin{LTXexample}[pos=r]
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](-2,-1.5)(4,6) 
\pslsystem[
  X=-FX++FY-,
  Y=+FX--FY+,
  Ftype=1,
  Start=X,
  Angle=45,
  N=9,
  BaseLength=2mm](0,0)
\psdot(0,0)
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}

\subsection{Hilbert}
\begin{LTXexample}[pos=r]
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](-1,-0.5)(4,4) 
\pslsystem[
  X=-YF+XFX+FY-,
  Y=+XF-YFY-FX+,
  Ftype=3,
  Start=X,
  Angle=90](0,0)
\psdot(0,0)
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}



\subsection{Kochflake}

If the rule for \Lkeyword{Start} has more than one function name, one has to repeat
the number of iterations, which is \Lkeyword{N}, before every following function, but not
for the first one. That is done already internally:

\begin{LTXexample}[pos=r]
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](-2,-.5)(5,6) 
\pslsystem[
  Start=F--NF--NF,%    repeat number of iterations N
  F=F+F--F+F,
  Angle=60,
  N=4,
  BaseLength=2pt,
  linecolor=red](0,0)
\psdot(0,0)
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}



\subsection{Plant 1}

\begin{LTXexample}[pos=r]
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](-2,-2.3)(4,6)

\psdot(0,0)
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}

\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}
