Description of the Demonstration:
This demonstration simulates a landscape design application that places
any number of "trees and shrubs" on a lot. Rather than instantiate a
large number of instances of Tree, all of which differ only in the location
and age (controlling the size it is drawn), a single instance of Tree
is created and then the TreeManager keeps the information on the location
and age of each "instance" of Tree.
