Filled triangles

TO tree
  clearscreen penup 
  setpos [0 80] setfillcolor 4 
  repeat 6 [
    setfillshade -6 + 3 * repcount 
    ;repcount returns the current iteration
    back 4 * repcount 
    fiso 8 * repcount 5 * repcount 
    ;fiso = filled iso triangle
    lower 0.1
  ] 
  setfillcolor 8 setfillshade 5 
  back 50 slideleft 10 
  quad 20 50
  ;trunk
END

‘Tents’ – fiso prisms

TO tree3d
  cs pu setpos [0 80] 
  ;cs = clearscreen
  ;pu = penup
  setfc 4 
  ;setfc = setfillcolor
  repeat 6 [
    setfs -6 + 3 * repcount 
    ;setfs = setfillshade
    bk 4 * repcount 
    ;bk = back  
    tent 8 * repcount 5 * repcount 10 
    lo 0.1
    ;lo = lower
  ] 
  setfc 8 setfs 5
  bk 50 sl 10 
  ;sl = slideleft
  voxeloid 20 50 10
  ;voxeloids are stretched cubes
END

Cones

TO conetree
  cs pu setpos [0 80] 
  setfc 4 up 90 
  repeat 6 [
    setfs -6 + 3 * repcount 
    ra 4 * repcount 
    cone 8 * repcount 5 * repcount 20
  ] 
  setfc 8 setfs 5 ra 50
  cylinder 8 50 20

Pyramids (5-sided ‘cones’)

TO pyramidtree
  cs pu setpos [0 80] 
  setfc 4 up 90 
  repeat 6 [
    setfs -6 + 3 * repcount ra 4 * repcount
    cone 8 * repcount 5 * repcount 4
    ;while there is also a pyramid primitive, you can 
    ;also create a pyramid by creating a 4-sided cone
  ] 
  setfc 8 setfs 5 ra 50 
  cylinder 8 50 4
END

4-sided cones

TO tetratree
  cs pu setpos [0 80] setfc 4 up 90 
  repeat 6 [setfs -6 + 3 * repcount 
    ra 4 * repcount 
    cone 8 * repcount 5 * repcount 3] 
  setfc 8 setfs 5 ra 50 
  cylinder 8 50 3
