Barnsley Fern in Python
In this tutorial, we are going to learn about the Barnsley Fern, which is created by Michael Barnsley. The features of Barnsley Fern is similar to the fern shape. It is created by iterating over the four mathematical equations known as Iterated Function System(IFS). The transformation has the following formula.
f(x,y)=$$\begin{bmatrix}a & b \c & d \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}x \y \end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix}e \f \end{bmatrix}$$

Now, we will see code to create the fern shape in Python.
Example
# importing matplotlib module for the plot import matplotlib.pyplot as plot # importing random module to generate random integers for the plot import random # initialising the lists x = [0] y = [0] # initialising a variable to zero to track position current = 0 for i in range(1, 1000): # generating a random integer between 1 and 100 z = random.randint(1, 100) # checking the z range and appending corresponding values to x and y # appending values to the x and y if z == 1: x.append(0) y.append(0.16 * y[current]) if z >= 2 and z <= 86: x.append(0.85 * x[current] + 0.04 * y[current]) y.append(-0.04 * x[current] + 0.85 * y[current] +1.6) if z>= 87 and z<= 93: x.append(0.2 * x[current] - 0.26 * y[current]) y.append(0.23 * x[current] + 0.22*(y[current])+1.6) if z >= 94 and z <= 100: x.append(-0.15 * x[current] + 0.28 * y[current]) y.append(0.26 * x[current] + 0.24 * y[current] + 0.44) # incrementing the current value current += 1 # plotting the graph using x and y plot.scatter(x, y, s = 0.2, edgecolor = 'green') plot.show()
Output
If you run the above code, you will get the following result.
