Garden with Insight v1.0 Help: Plant draw leaves group

Leaf 3D object: The 3D object used to draw leaves

Leaf 3D object scale at optimal leaf biomass: The scale for the 3D object used to draw leaves when the leaf is full-sized.

Leaf angle between stem and petiole: The angle between the main stem and the leaf petiole (stalk).

Leaf back face color: The back face (facing down) color for leaves on this plant.

Leaf compound number of leaflets: If this plant has compound leaves, this is the number of leaflets per leaf. If this plant does not have compound leaves, this number is zero. Note that drawing speed decreases with the number of leaflets on each compound leaf.

Leaf compound palmate: If this plant has compound leaves, this is how the leaflets are arranged within each compound leaf. If 'yes', compound leaves are palmate (hand-like). If 'no', compound leaves are pinnate (feather-like).

Leaf compound ratio of petiole to rachis internode: If this plant has compound leaves, this is the ratio of the length of the leaf petiole (the main stalk before the leaflets start) to the length of each section of the rachis (main leaf stalk) between leaflets. Usually a value between one and ten.

Leaf front face color: The front face (facing up) color for leaves on this plant.

Leaf maximum days to grow: The number of days a leaf will accumulate biomass towards the optimal leaf biomass before it gives up and stops growing. This simulates the plant's concentration of resources on newer plant parts.

Leaf minimum days to grow: The shortest number of days in which a leaf can grow to maturity, no matter how much biomass is available. This simulates physical limitations on the rate of growth.

Leaf optimal biomass: The biomass (dry weight) of a complete or best leaf, after growth is complete.

Leaf petiole color: The color of the leaf petioles (stalks) on this plant.

Leaf petiole length when leaf has optimal biomass: The length of the leaf petiole when the leaf has accumulated the optimal (best) amount of biomass for a leaf.

Leaf petiole width when leaf has optimal biomass: The width of the leaf petiole when the leaf has accumulated the optimal (best) amount of biomass for a leaf.
Leaf fraction of optimal final biomass at creation: A leaf is created by a meristem with some amount of biomass, and then grows to its final biomass. This is the fraction of final biomass the leaf has when it is created. If zero, the leaf starts with nothing; if one, the leaf starts at full size.

Leaf fraction of biomass is alive when falls off (abscisses): If the fraction of a leaf's biomass that is living (divided by total living and dead biomass) goes below this number, the leaf will no longer be drawn on the plant.
