QFRACTALNOW(1) Fractal explorer/generator QFRACTALNOW(1)

NAME

qfractalnow - Explore fractals and generate fractal images.

SYNOPSYS

qfractalnow [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

QFractalNow is a graphical tool, based on Qt library, that allows users to explore fractals intuitively and generate pictures.
 
It is multi-threaded and implements advanced algorithms and heuristics that make computation very fast compared to most existing free fractal generators.
 
See FractalNow, a command-line tool to generate fractal images.

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).
-c <ConfigFile>
Specify configuration file, overriding default configuration.
-f <FractalFile>
Specify fractal file, overriding parameters from default configuration or configuration file.
-r <RenderingFile>
Specify rendering file, overriding parameters from default configuration or configuration file.
-g <GradientFile>
Specify gradient file, overriding gradient from default configuration, configuration file, or rendering file.
-x <Width>
Specify image width.
-y <Height>
Specify image height.
-l <FloatType>
Specify float type:
single Single precision.
 
double Double precision.
 
ldouble Long double precision.
 
mp Multiple precision.
-L <MPPrecision>
Specify precision of Multiple Precision (MP) floats (see help for default value).
-a <AntiAliasingMethod>
Specify anti-aliasing method:
none By default.
 
blur Gaussian blur.
 
oversampling Oversampling.
 
adaptive Smart oversampling.
-m <MinAAMSize>
Specify minimum size of adaptive anti-aliasing (see help for default value).
 
Must be an integer strictly greater than 1.
-M <MaxAAMSize>
Specify maximum size of adaptive anti-aliasing (see help for default value).
 
Must be an integer strictly greater than 1 and MinAAMSize.
-n <AAMSizeIteration>
Anti-aliasing size iteration.
 
Anti-aliasing size will increase by steps of AAMSizeIteration from MinAAMSize to MaxAAMSize.
-p <AAMThreshold>
Threshold for adaptive anti-aliasing (see help for default value).
-i <QuadSize>
Maximum size of quadrilaterals for linear interpolation.
Default is good for no visible loss of quality (see help for default value).
 
1 means no interpolation (all pixels are computed).
-t <Threshold>
Dissimilarity threshold for quad interpolation.
Default is good for no visible loss of quality (see help for default value).
 
A quadrilateral that shows too dissimilar values at its corners will be computed, as opposed to interpolated.
