An improved method is presented for modeling leaf venation pattern.L-system is introduced into the Runions'modeling method to solve the slow growth of main and lateral veins.As a step towards the whole method,a new dart-throwing algorithm is used to get homogeneous distributed auxin sources in each simulation loop,which effectively improves the drawing speed of whole method.The results verify that the improved method can get more realistic venation pattern by quicker speed.
