Flametree provides a system for making generative art in R, written withtwo goals in mind. First, and perhaps foremost, art is inherentlyenjoyable and generative artists working in R need packages no less thanany other R users. Second, the system is designed to be useful in theclassroom: getting students to make artwork in class is an enjoyableexercise and flametree can be used as a method to introduce some key Rconcepts in a fun way. You can install the current version of flametreewith:

install.packages("flametree")

Alternatively you can install the development version of flametree with:

# install.packages("devtools")devtools::install_github("djnavarro/flametree")

Flametree is fairly flexible and produces art in several differentstyles. One example is shown here, other possibilities are describedthroughout the documentation.
