Experiments with ruby-processing (processing-2.2.1) and JRubyArt for processing-3.0

Translating the default.es to ruby processing DSL

It was very constructive to see if I could translate the EisenScript to my ruby processing DSL, I immediately learnt something about the EisenScript (recursion seems to be implicit, something I had not understood before). What I learnt about my library, was I was losing some context by directly altering the attitude (the image expected from the EisenScript appeared briefly but quickly degraded). I have now re-factored the sketch to only adjust the initial angle, the x rotation seems to affect the amplitude of deformation from the plane of the spirals. The y and z rotation give control of the attitude, and need to be used in combination to fully explore the 3 dimensional shape, which is now somewhat like that produced by StrucureSynth. 

Here is my revised 3d context free DSL (test_free.rb):-

# A Context-Free library for Ruby-Processing, inspired by
# contextfreeart.org and StructureSynth
# Built on Jeremy Ashkenas context free DSL script
