摘要:
A website is provided for facilitating the design of a garden. The website allows a user to design a garden on-line, and then provide a visual simulation of the appearance of the garden through a time sequence spanning multiple growing seasons. The user designs the garden by selecting plants through an interactive user interface and positioning each selected plant onto an orthogonal-oriented “design plot”. The growths of the plants in the garden are then simulated on a perspective-oriented “simulation plot”. The simulation simultaneously displays images of each plant in the garden through different growth periods, which may include both blooming and non-blooming times. Through the simulation, the user may see what his or her garden would look like through the seasons prior to actual planting. The user may modify the garden design and rerun the simulation multiple times.
