NAME¶

fractalnow - Generate fractal images.

SYNOPSYS¶

fractalnow [OPTIONS] -c <Config> [-x <Width>|-y <Height>] -o <Output>
fractalnow [OPTIONS] -f <Fractal> -r <Rendering> [-x <Width>|-y <Height>] -o <Output>

DESCRIPTION¶

FractalNow is a command line tool that generates pictures of fractals as Portable PixMap (PPM) files.
It is multi-threaded and implements advanced algorithms and heuristics that make computation very fast compared to most existing free fractal generators.
See QFractalNow, a graphical tool to explore fractals.

OPTIONS¶

-h

Print help.

-q

Quiet mode, only errors are displayed.

-v

Verbose mode.

-j <NbThreads>

Specify number of threads (see help for default value).

-g <GradientFile>

Specify gradient file, overriding gradient from configuration/ rendering file.

-l <FloatType>

Specify float type:

-L <MPPrecision>

Specify precision of Multiple Precision (MP) floats (see help for default value).

-a <AntiAliasingMethod>

Specify anti-aliasing method:

-s <AAMSize>

Specify size for anti-aliasing:

-p <AAMThreshold>

Threshold for adaptive anti-aliasing (see help for default value).

-i <QuadSize>

Maximum size of quadrilaterals for linear interpolation.

-t <Threshold>

Dissimilarity threshold for quad interpolation.
