A Graphics Design Language

The goal of this problem set is to reinforce ideas about data abstraction and higher-order procedures, and to emphasize the expressive power that derives from appropriate primitives, means of combination, and means of abstraction. We'll do this by working with Peter Henderson's ``square-limit'' graphics design language, which is described in section 2.2.4 of the textbook. You should study that section before beginning work on this assignment.
