I was rummaging around the GIMP home page and came across a reference
to creating fractal trees with it. There is a new plug-in available
described as follows:
--------
FS-Compose is one of the weirdest and most fascinating plugins available for
Gimp. It is basically a tool to generate recursive, natural-looking fractal
shapes. It is quite hard to understand at first, but once you play with it
you will start to understand how it works.
--------
Looking at the images and kinds of shapes that it can produce it instantly
struck my that it might make an excellent tool for making image maps for
natural looking leaves and foilage as well as other objects. It may also
be useful for creating organic backgrounds like tree lines and distant
shrubbery when detail is not needed. Other than that it would probably be
just damn plain fun to play with.
This is a direct link to the page that describes it and the associated
screen shots - http://tigert.gimp.org/gimp/ifs-compose/

I haven't tried the windows version or any version for that matter. I
have heard that there are many unresolved problems with the windows
version of GIMP and have hesitated downloading buggy software. How
has it performed for you and are you satisfied with its performance ?

Every software is buggy. It is merely a matter of time until a bug
manifests itself and the a matter of self-respect on behalf of the
program maker(s) to disclose that information to the public.
As one of Murphy's laws says, "Documented bugs will always be
suprassed in number by undocumented ones which, by definition, are
infinitely many."

There are degrees of buginess that I can tolerate. I have heard that
the windows version of GIMP is impressively buggy. I welcome any
information that would dispell that.

I have been playing with GIMP for Win95. Frankly, I love it. So far, I
have experienced fewer GPF's with GIMP than with any piece of MS software.
It has at times terminated itself, but it has never effected any thing else,
and it's not often enough to annoy me.

The only bugs I've found are:
If you minimize the main GIMP window, you get a message saying "assert
failed". You can ignore this bug.
Sometimes you get messages about functions being called reentrantly. You
can usually ignore this bug, but sometimes it causes the GIMP to crash.
I've only had it occur when working with images bigger than 1200x3600.
