The patterns inherent in multiple generations of string can alternatively be visualized by mapping the string to attributes of individual objects*. Thus each letter can be interpreted as the scale, position, rotation, color, or any other attribute of an object. Several letters can be mapped to each object to affect multiple attributes simultaneously.

*In effect, if one regards the vertices of a surface as unique objects and their position as one of their attributes, then this is exactly what is done in the previous example.
