 ==== Turtle commands / L-system Syntax ==== ==== Turtle commands / L-system Syntax ====
  
 In GroIMP the result of the extended L-system is interpreted by turtle geometry, therefore these concepts are close connected.  The 3d movement in the scene is managed by this commands. In turtle geometry a sequence of commands can be used to describe a structure. These commands are processed by a “turtle” and change either the state or the position of the turtle. By doing so the turtle can add cylinders (with the additions of RGG also other objects) to the scene. In GroIMP the result of the extended L-system is interpreted by turtle geometry, therefore these concepts are close connected.  The 3d movement in the scene is managed by this commands.

 ==== Lights and Sky ==== ==== Lights and Sky ====
  
 The global 3D objects light and sky are contained in GroIMP. They can be placed into the scene similarly to primitive objects. In the wireframe representation, the sky object is displayed as a sphere; its position is irrelevant because it represents a sky sphere at infinity. Visual effects cannot be seen in the wireframe representation, use POV-Ray to get a ray-traced image which makes use of these objects.  The global 3D objects light and sky are contained in GroIMP.

 ==== Sensors ==== ==== Sensors ====
  
 Sensors in GroIMP can be used to estimate the power of the rays send by one of the [[user-guide:raytracing|ray tracers]] without interacting with theses rays. Therefore it allows observation without interference.     Sensors in GroIMP can be used to estimate the power of the rays send by one of the [[user-guide:raytracing|ray tracers]] without interacting with theses rays.
