Pythagorean Tree Directions
The Pythagorean Tree program generates images by starting with a triangle on top of a rectangle as a template.  When iterated the program attaches the base of a rescaled version of the template to the open sides of the triangles in the previous structure.

Triangle / Rectangle Settings:  Click on this button to bring up a menu that allows changes to the template used in the Pythagorean Tree program.

Display Themes:  Use this drop-down menu to experiment with various coloring schemes used when generating branches. 

Initial Size:  Select a size before generating a Pythagorean Tree.  This option is only available at the very start of the program or when the screen has been cleared (Press Clear button).

Triangle Orientation:  Choose between flipping angle A with angle B after each complete iteration or keep them the same.

Precision Plot:  If this box is checked, the Pythagorean Tree program will calculate triangles and rectangles that have developed smaller than the size of a single pixel.  This allows a more precise representation of the Pythagorean Tree being generated, but requires a great deal of time to calculate higher iterations of some tree branches.  Uncheck the Precision Plot box and the program will generate tree branches faster.

Center:  Press this button to center the generated structure.

Choose between single or movie as a method of iteration.
