Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

After a request by Arend I added an unflatten component for reversing a flattening operation. If you still have the original tree and the number of items hasn't changed it can be put back together:

However I just cannot come up with a good idea for an icon for Unflatten. The best I could come up with was an acorn, which is a tenuous link at best.

Any ideas welcome, but please remember that the icon must de drawable and recognizable in a 20x20 (24x24 in an emergency) pixel image.

David at a loss for icon ideas? :-|

It happens. It often takes longer to come up with a good idea and draw an icon than it takes to write the code for a new component.

This seems to be the consensus. It's definitely up against the detail barrier for small icons but it might work.

I think it is better to remove the grass. I will be more iconic.

Nice one

Looks great. I'd say it lives up to the(your) GH standard.
To split a hair, It think Vincenzo's idea will put an end to this quest:)
I was thinking "Revive Tree" for the name, but than again, I'm dutch.

I think the sapling growing from a stump is a perfect analogy. The tree had been cut down, but now it grows back.

Support for McCune's suggestion too.

Hey David, 

I have an idea for you.

I thought it could be just a flatten plant or tree, with newborn grafts. ;)

What do you think?

How about replacing the old tree on the (flatten icon) treestump and put a bandaid over it ;)

This is freaking me out. The tree-stump-with-band-aid idea is also what my girlfriend came up with, who is also called Anja and also into dancing...

how about Unflattening a flatten mother bubble to unflatten small kids bubbles, such as a soap bubbles
