For whatever reason, a while back I began writing a program that would take an LSystem specification and generate the corresponding graphic. I'm not done with it, but it can currently do alot. I took to wondering if I could find an LSystem specification that could generate coastlines for island or continents. Attached is the output of that spec - it can generate others if I give the random number generator a different seed. It is a variant of random midpoint displacement.

I was just wondering what people thought in terms of how "good" the shape is for representing a coastline.Click image for larger version.
