The green line is "passive," it does not participate in the recursive replacement. This is the second iteration but nothing has been replaced. | |
Now we replaced the first green line with a red line, and left the rest green. The red line replicates up (in other words it scales but nothing else). | |
Here we replaced the first line with a blue line. It replicates down and left to right (it scales and reflects across the horizontal axis). | |
Now we replaced that same first line with a orange line. It replicates up but right to left (scales and reflects across the vertical axis). | |
Finally we replaced the first line with a purple line. It scales and reflects over both vertical and horizontal axes. |
