Yup, the figures look good. I'll have a closer look at it tomorrow, perhaps
there are some approaches and ideas in there which I can make use of. On a
quick glance I've read something about data-structures and such, depending
on the implementation, that could get a little complicated for POV-Ray (as
it doesn't allow dynamic references and links as such). (TO THE GEEKS: I
know, there are ways around that, but lets not get too fussy. ;-)

But at least something to read with some technical background, much more
helpful than just a description like "based upon various rules, the plant
grows". Duh! :-P

Thank you very much!

Regards,
Tim
