To facilitate thinking about the problem we created a framework, GPT-framework (ref) an important part of which is the notion that genes may regulate direction independently of growth rate. To make it easy to explore the relation between genes and growth we implemented the framework in (GFtbox) which enables sheets of tissue (the canvas) to be computionally grown under the physical constraints of a continuous material.	<sgallery width="160" height="280" showarrows="false" showcarousel="false" showinfopane="false" timed="true" delay="4000"> LabelledCropped GPT Snapdragon 2010-000570-0003 double.png LabelledCropped GPT Snapdragon 2010-000570-0002 triple.png </sgallery>
