[Blindmath] Drawing a family tree

[Richard Baldwin]

Pranav,

I have attached a zip file containing a png bitmap drawing of a physical
tree, along with an svg rendition of the same drawing. All of the leaves
have been stripped away in both versions making the limbs clearly visible.
Emboss them and you will know what a physical tree looks like.

Be aware, however, that when people create charts commonly called family
trees, the charts are typically very stylized versions of an actual tree,
often with the root at the top and the limbs and the leaves at the bottom.
In other words, a family tree chart is often upside down as compared to a
real tree in nature.
