"""Lustrum

This example contains a script that was created to commemmorate the 5 years
existence of the pyFormex project. It was actually included first as an
easter egg, running when the pyFormex GUI started up. Afterwards it was
included as an example.

It uses one of the rulesets of the Lima example to grow a plant, with
different color for each generation. The superimposed '5' is read from
a pyFormex Geometry file, distributed with pyFormex in the 'data' directory.

To create this file we use a Python interface to the ftgl library, allowing
the transformation of a character '5' from a 'blippo' font to be converted
to an OpenGL model. This functionality is currently not included in pyFormex,
but we are working on an equivalent using the 'fontforge' library.
