We present a method for automatically generating polygonal shapes from an example using a graph grammar. Most procedural modeling techniques use grammars with manually created rules, but our method can create them automatically from an example. Our graph grammars generate graphs that are locally similar to a given example. We disassemble the input into small pieces called primitives and then reassemble the primitives into new graphs. We organize all possible locally similar graphs into a hierarchy and find matching graphs within the hierarchy. These matches are used to create a graph grammar that can construct every locally similar graph. Our method generates graphs using the grammar and then converts them into a planar graph drawing to produce the final shape.

Translating Controlled Graph Grammars to Ordinary Graph Grammars
Graph Grammar (GG) is an appropriate formal language for specifying complex systems. In a GG the system states are represented by graphs and the changes between the states are described by rules. The use of GGs is interesting as there are several ...
Converting metamodels to graph grammars: doing without advanced graph grammar features
In this paper, we present a method to convert a metamodel in the form of a UML class diagram into a context-sensitive graph grammar whose language comprises precisely the set of model graphs (UML object diagrams) that conform to the input metamodel. ...
Learning geometric graph grammars
SCCG '16: Proceedings of the 32nd Spring Conference on Computer GraphicsWe introduce geometric graph grammars, demonstrate how they can generate geometric structures, and introduce an algorithm for their automatic learning (inverse procedural modeling). Our approach extends the concept of graph grammars to allow for coding ...
