# TreeMaker
[TreeMaker] is a computational origami tool developed by [Robert J. Lang]
for calculating crease patterns from stick figure–like tree diagrams. His talk
[*The math and magic of origami*][talk] includes a brief introduction to the
tool:
[![The math and magic of origami, Robert Lang, TED2008][talk_preview]][talk]
The software was last updated in 2006 and doesn't readily run on recent Ubuntu
releases. This repository provides a compatible legacy environment to allow it
to run on recent releases without modification.
## Dependencies
- [Docker]
- an [X server]
## Installation
1. Clone the repository.
1. Build TreeMaker and its environment:
```bash
docker build --tag treemaker .
```
## Usage
Included is a [wrapper] for `docker run` that configures access to the X server. Read it and, if necessary, adjust it to fit your system.
Run TreeMaker via the wrapper:
```console
$ ./docker_run_x --rm treemaker --help
Usage: TreeMaker [-v] [-h] [-d ] [document...]
-v, --version show program version
-h, --help show option list
-d, --datadir= TreeMaker data directory path prefix
```
