Flametree provides a system for making generative art in R, written with two goals in mind. First, and perhaps foremost, art is inherently enjoyable and generative artists working in R need packages no less than any other R users. Second, the system is designed to be useful in the classroom: getting students to make artwork in class is an enjoyable exercise and flametree can be used as a method to introduce some key R concepts in a fun way. You can install the current version of flametree with:

``` r

install.packages("flametree")

```

Alternatively you can install the development version of flametree with:

``` r

# install.packages("devtools")

devtools::install_github("djnavarro/flametree")

```

Flametree is fairly flexible and produces art in several different styles. One example is shown here, other possibilities are described throughout the documentation.

```{r example, fig.width=8, fig.height=4}

library(flametree)

# pick some colours

shades <- c("#1b2e3c", "#0c0c1e", "#74112f", "#f3e3e2")

# data structure defining the trees

dat <- flametree_grow(time = 10, trees = 10)

# draw the plot

dat %>% 

  flametree_plot(

    background = "antiquewhite",

    palette = shades, 

    style = "nativeflora"

  )

```
