Using the below code you can create an animated gif for Christmas tree.

plot(rad,1:101)
% Form

%add this diffusion to the grid points
for contH = 1:numContHorizt
for contV = 11:numContVert %starting above the trunk
%get the angle to always diffuse in direction of the radius

%split the diffusion in the two coordinates, depending on the angle
X(contV,contH) = X(contV,contH)+cos(angle)*treeDiffusion(contV,contH);
