Itractorgen 1.1

Following in the footsteps of the inestimably significant tractorgen(1) program, this Itractorgen program generates images of tractors.

This program generates graphical tractors using the universal tractor factor (TF). The intended audience is practical tractor theorists and lay people interested in abstract tractor theory.¹
