EVOLVOTRON_MUTATE(1) Evolvotron EVOLVOTRON_MUTATE(1)

NAME

evolvotron_mutate - Render an evolvotron function tree to an image.

SYNOPSIS

evolvotron_mutate < function_in.xml > function_out.xml

evolvotron_mutate -g > function_out.xml

DESCRIPTION

evolvotron_mutate either mutates an existing image function read from standard input, or (with the -g option) creates a new image function. In either case the output image function is written to standard output.

The mutation parameters and function weightings are the same as used by evolvotron in its default reset state.

See the evolvotron user manual (accessible from the evolvotron application's Help menu) for more information on image functions.

COMMANDLINE OPTIONS

Specifies that no function should be read from standard input. The output function is created at random.

Display information on command line arguments and exit.

Created functions (if they are rendered as animations) will sweep z linearly (rather than sinusoidally).

Created functions will be tagged as spheremaps.

Enables some additional logging to standard error.

EXAMPLES

evolvotron_mutate -g | tee function0.xml | evolvotron_render function0.ppm

evolvtron_mutate < function0.xml > function1.xml
