Another CA XMas tree

Attached is a X_mas tree based on a continuous CA with code 0.135. Rendered as follows: If cell value is greater than .2, plot with a shade of green of equal value, i.e., .2xxx to 1.0; if value is between .1 and .2, plot with yellow; if less than .1 plot with red. The parallel background lines are eliminated by plotting white if adjacent cells differ by .005 or less. The stem and lettering are the result of using appropriate clipping regions. Original plot was done in PostScript and converted to .bmp format with GhostScript, then converted to .gif format with IrfanView.

Enjoy!
