Generalizing Turtle Geometry: An Extensible Language for Vector Graphics Drawing

In this article, we provide a generalization of turtle graphics that can be specialized to create various domain-specific languages. In particular, we provide two specializations of our language: the first one produces Bézier paths and the second one combines and manipulates these paths for vector graphics. Additionally, we introduce a syntax that adds absolute positioning to the relative positioning of turtle graphics.

Abstract

In this article, we provide a generalization of turtle graphics that can be specialized to create various domain-specific languages. In particular, we provide two specializations of our language: the first one produces Bézier paths and the second one combines and manipulates these paths for vector graphics. Additionally, we introduce a syntax that adds absolute positioning to the relative positioning of turtle graphics.
