Slanted Fractal Tree 2 (Source Code)

Posted on by

Slightly modify the slanted fractal tree to make the color of the branch lighter as the branch gets thinner. Also slightly modify the slant angles.

Use recursion to draw the following slated fractal tree. Notice that the pensize also changes.

Clock with Python Turtle (Source Code)
