It's nice to think that every plant has some mathematical formula encoded within it's genes: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=polar+r+%3D+%28sin%28theta%29

It's nice to think that every plant has some mathematical formula encoded within it's genes: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=polar+r+%3D+%28sin%28theta%29%2B1%29+%289%2F10+cos%288+theta%29%2B1%29+%281%2F10+cos%2824+theta%29%2B1%29+%281%2F10+cos%28200+theta%29%2B9%2F10%29 http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=polar+r+%3D+%28sin%28th... but given a shape, what's the easiest way to find the formula. Is there automated tools to do this from picture files?
