leaves_start and branches_start parameters

[ykarray]

I have added two parameters: leaves_start and branches_start.

leaves_start parameter: Choose the position on the highest-level branches where your leaves will start. Set a value between 0 and 1.

branches_start parameter: Choose the position on the trunk where your branches will start. Set a value between 0 and 1

• Why this matters :
  I added these parameters because when creating olive trees:

It's important that all branches start after the main trunk splits

Without this, branches appear under the trunk division point

Using existing parameters to raise branch starts made the whole tree too curvedial

• The solution:
  The new branches_start parameter makes it possible to:

Position branches higher up the trunk

Keep proper trunk division points

Avoid making the whole tree curved

Create more natural-looking olive trees

• Technical notes:

Works alongside existing parameters

Maintains all original tree-generation behaviors

Thanks for the contribution - from the description this sounds like it achieves the same result as

Could you clarify the difference - would be great to see some visual examples!

Thank you for your message! Here are the visual examples to help clarify the differences: - *Image 1* shows our tree without any parameter changes. This is the default structure. - *Image 2* shows the effect of modifying the *base size* parameter. When we set the base size to 0.5, it causes a curvature throughout the entire tree. However, in natural trees, curvature typically starts after the main trunk splits, not from the base. - *Image 3* demonstrates the result when we modify the *branch start* parameter instead of the base size. As you can see, the trunk remains straight, and the split occurs naturally, followed by the appearance of the branches. So while the overall shapes might seem similar at first glance, the underlying behavior and structure of the tree vary significantly depending on which parameter is changed.
