Hi all,
Anyone know of a computerized method (for Windows or as a website, or in
the worst case an algorithm) for generating the tendril/vine patterns
sometimes used to decorate the faces of sundials?
I'm thinking of patterns something like this:

Seamless pattern. Thin delicate twigs with leaves isolated on white
background. Texture for print, wallpaper, home decor, textile, package
design Stock Vector | Adobe Stock
Maybe some kind of fractal generator would do it? There are plenty of
fractal tree generators but I can't find one that does tendril patterns.
I also wondered if a maze generator could give me something to start
from. I found a nice one at https://codebox.net/pages/maze-generator/online
If I set it to do a hexagon maze, I get patterns that might provide a
starting point but I can't figure out a way to make smooth curves out of
the longer sections. Conversely, if I do a square maze, I can't see how
to add a bit of waviness to the branches.
Last point, I would prefer SVG output over image format (PNG might work,
JPG would almost cause give blurred edges).
Cheers,
Steve
