First we introduce scaling factors in the production rules of the parametric l-systems grammars. Then we decorticate these grammars with scaling factors using turtle algebra to show the mathematical relation between l-systems and iterated function systems (IFS). We demonstrate that with specific values of the scaling factors, we find the exact relationship established by Prusinkiewicz and Hammel between l-systems and IFS. }, journal = {International Journal of Mathematical and Computational Sciences}, volume = {1}, number = {10}, year = {2007}, pages = {472 - 477}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/15297}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/10}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 10, 2007}, }
