'''Aristid Lindenmeyer''' ([[November 17]], [[1925]] – [[October 30]], [[1989]]) was an [[Hungary|Hungarian]] [[biologist]]. In 1968 he developed a [[formal language]] that is today called [[L-system]]s or Lindenmeyer Systems. Using those systems Lindenmeyer modelled the behaviour of cells of plants. L-systems nowadays are also used to model whole plants. L-systems are also used for the generation of fractals, such as the dragon, which is made by folding a paper to the right at 90 degrees an infinite number of times.
