+ | ====== Phyllotaxy ====== | ||
+ | Phyllotaxy is a scientific term that means "the arrangement of leaves on an axis or stem." | ||
+ | Groups of leaves are placed at intervals starting at the position specified by " | ||

+ | |||
+ | ==== Arrangement ==== | ||
+ | The properties in this group control the placement and orientation of each group of leaves. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Style == | ||
+ | Use this setting to specify how each group of leaves is arranged according to the image and descriptions below: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ :: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ^Opposite (distichous) | Two nodes are placed opposite one another in each group. | ||
+ | ^Opposite (decussate) | Two nodes are placed opposite one another in each group. Each group is rotated 90 degrees from the previous group. | | ||
+ | ^Opposite | Two nodes are placed opposite one another in each group. | ||
+ | ^Alternating (distichous) | A single node is placed in each group. | ||
+ | ^Alternating | A single node is placed in each group. | ||
+ | ^Whorled | Each group gets the number of nodes specified by the " | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Children Per Node == | ||
+ | Sets the number of nodes that appear per group when " | ||

+ | When " | ||
+ | |||
+ | ^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. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Nodes ==== | ||
+ | The properties in this group control the placement and orientation of the leaf groups. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The terms " | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Internode Length == | ||
+ | This property specifies the length of the intervals on the stem between the nodes. The higher the value, the bigger the space between nodes, so there will be fewer nodes on a spine. The lower the value, the smaller the space between nodes, so there will be more nodes on a spine. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Nodes are placed from the end of the parent towards the beginning. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Spread == | ||
+ | Use this value to apply a random up or down offset to the nodes in each group. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Spiral == | ||
+ | Each group (starting with the one at the end) is rotated by this amount more than the previous group, creating a spiral pattern down the parent. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Limit == | ||
+ | This value sets the maximum number of groups (not nodes) that can be generated. | ||
