In this short post, we’ll share a productivity tip to make your life easier when it comes to rapidly drawing simple “boxes-and-arrows” diagrams with Vexlio.
Today we’ll take a brief break from technical diagramming to talk about something fun: drawing simple generative tree-like structures with Lua using a concept called an L-system.
