Linear graph grammar

A linear graph grammar is like a set of rules for building a picture made out of shapes and lines, like a drawing you might make with crayons or markers.

Here's how it works:

- First, you start with a blank piece of paper.
- Then, you use some basic "building blocks" like lines and curves to make shapes.
- Next, you use those shapes to make bigger shapes.
- Finally, you use those big shapes to make a complete picture.

The rules for building this picture are very simple and go in a straight line, like the line you might draw on a piece of paper.

So let's say you start with a straight line. The rules might say that you can add another line to that line to make a triangle. Then, once you have a triangle, you can add another line to make a square. Once you have a square, you can add more lines to make a house.

And so on! The rules continue until you have a complete picture made out of all sorts of shapes and lines.

Overall, the linear graph grammar is a fun and creative way to build a picture step-by-step.
