+Starting from a central polygon, one can imagine a tree _P_ of polygons created by attaching otherpolygons at each edge of the central one and iterating. Of course, many of the resulting polygons overlap. PolyTree selects and displays non-overlapping subtrees of _P_ in a variety of ways.

+As a first pass, PolyTree will consist of a Processing sketch written in CoffeeScript and intended to be served with HarpJS.
