Description

I came up with the idea for this software a couple years ago while waiting in a doctor's office, and finally implemented it this weekend. The system starts with a single chord. It then randomly generates thousands more, each one tangent to the endpoint of an existing chord. Assign color and shading, and you get a Dragontail Vine. I'm still playing with the various parameters to see what the software can do. Maybe there will be some surprises to upload in the following weeks.
