Each unique snoflake is defined by object with following properties:
A structure, defining topology of snowflake arms.
It is a recursive structure of nodes, where node is a 3 element array:
#### Node
`
[trunk, center, side]
* trunk - natural number defining length of trunk line.
* center - element defining center branch. Could be:
- natural number, for a final central branch.
- Node, for a next level of the tree.
* side - element defining two side branches. Could be:
- natural number, for a final side branches.
- Node, for a next level of the tree.
Tree scale. natural number to scale tree numbers. (optional, default: 4)
Layer count. natural number defining number of layers lines around the skeleton of the tree. (optional, default: 4)
display/print grid pitch. (optional, default: 2)
