RedMRCM multiple reduction copy machine



plotting with Pen.  after Flake - "The Computational Beauty of Nature"


see also: RedLTurtle, RedIFS


class methods:

*new(drawFunc, matrices, n)

drawFunc - a function that draws something.

matrices - array of arrays defining affine transformations.

inner array should have 6 values.  see Pen's matrix_ method.

outer array can be any length.

n - number of iterations (depth).  default is 1.


instance methods:

draw

start drawing at current Pen position.

makeWindow(bounds)

creates a window and draws.  mainly for testing.


instance variables:

<>drawFunc

<>matrices

<>n
