In his talk The math and magic of origami Robert Lang introduces TreeMaker, a computational origami tool that calculates paper crease patterns from stick figureโlike tree diagrams.
The software was last updated in 2006 and doesn't readily run on recent Ubuntu releases. As a shortcut to using it, I've prepared a Docker image based on an older Ubuntu release.
Running graphical applications via Docker isnโt straightforward so I've included a wrapper around docker run
that performs the necessary setup in Ubuntu.
