====== Absolute ======
Absolute mode generates a user-specified number of nodes.  Each node is given a random rotation around the parent and a random position between "Shared:First" and "Shared:Last."

Use this mode to create an exact number of nodes.  Trunks and roots are good typical uses for this generation mode.

Each of this generation mode's properties is described below.

== Number ==
The number of nodes generated.

== Jumble ==
A variance is placed on each node's orientation in order to achieve a more natural and random appearance. 

== Sweep ==
Specifies an arc around the parent node where nodes are eligible.

== Roll ==
Each node is rotated this absolute amount from its computed angle.

== Favor Splits ==
Positions the generated nodes on major bends or jinks.

>**Hint:** This is useful when trying to recreate the natural look of a branch splitting.

== Align style ==
When "Align" is enabled, generated nodes attempt to roll their initial orientation skyward as much as they can, according to the following options:

^Individual|Each node rolls skyward independently.|
^Group|All of the nodes in the group roll skyward together.|

== Align ==
This option toggles the skyward rolling behavior described above.

==== Shared ====
The "Shared" properties are common to all generation modes and are documented [[generation_properties#Shared|here]].
