//! A crate for procedurally generating content using L-systems.
//!
//! **NOTE:** this crate is still under early development, and might change rapidly.
//! The next released version will likely have breaking changes.
//!
//! # Introduction
//!
//! This crate currently supports producing strings using *context-free* and
//! *stochastic* [L-Systems][wiki].
//!
//! The [`system`] namespace contains the primary tools for defining
//! and running these grammars. As a convenience, the [`geometry`] namespace
//! contains types for easily handling the interpretation of the grammar's output
//! in a 2D space. Note that the geometry tools are not meant to be complete or high performance —
//! it's meant to only be utilitarian.
//!
//! # Parsing and Derivation
//!
//! The easiest way to parse:
//!
//! ```
//! use rusty_systems::prelude::*;
//!
//! let system = System::new();
//! system.parse_production("CompanyName -> Surname Surname").unwrap();
//!
//! let starting_axiom = system.parse_prod_string("CompanyName").unwrap();
//! let result = system.derive(starting_axiom, RunSettings::default()).unwrap().unwrap();
//!
//! println!("The resulting string is:\n{}", system.format(&result).unwrap());
//!
//! ```
//!
//! If you would like to parse without using a [`System`] instance,
//! you can use the following underlying functions:
//!
//! * [`system::parser::parse_production`] to parse individual productions.
//!
//! See [`system::parser`] for more information, and for generic parsing
//! functions that do not need you to use [`System`].
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! The crate's example directory has various examples:
//!
//! * [Vector graphics plant][skia-plant]
//!
//! This example uses two rules to produce a small plant. The tokens
//! are interpreted using a classic [logo turtle][logo-turtle] interpretation
//! to produce vector graphics. While the example uses [tiny skia][tiny-skia],
//! this can be replaced with any vector graphic library.
//!
//! If you clone the code repository, you can run this using:
//!
//! ```cargo run --example skia-plant ```
//!
//! # Learn more about L-Systems
//!
//! If you would like to learn more about L-Systems, the original *Algorithmic Beauty of Plants*
//! book, by Prusinkiewicz and Lindenmayer, is [available for free, online][abop].
//!
//! # Code repository, license, and versioning.
