you can still do this if you want, but ...
1. not everybody know C even if he know algorithm for such pattern
2. you can test your pattern before coding
3. you can make box as box{} as isosurface{} as csg{} and as own patch

imagine that you can write one function to create isosurface
for body of plant and to place flowers and leafs in while loop
