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

Print help.
Quiet mode, only errors are displayed.
Verbose mode.
Specify number of threads (see help for default value).
Specify configuration file, overriding default configuration.
Specify fractal file, overriding parameters from default configuration or configuration file.
Specify rendering file, overriding parameters from default configuration or configuration file.
Specify gradient file, overriding gradient from default configuration, configuration file, or rendering file.
Specify image width.
Specify image height.

Specify float type:
single Single precision.
double Double precision.
ldouble Long double precision.
mp Multiple precision.
Specify precision of Multiple Precision (MP) floats (see help for default value).
Specify anti-aliasing method:
none By default.
blur Gaussian blur.
oversampling Oversampling.
adaptive Smart oversampling.
Specify minimum size of adaptive anti-aliasing (see help for default value).
Must be an integer strictly greater than 1.
Specify maximum size of adaptive anti-aliasing (see help for default value).
Must be an integer strictly greater than 1 and MinAAMSize.
Anti-aliasing size iteration.
Anti-aliasing size will increase by steps of AAMSizeIteration from MinAAMSize to MaxAAMSize.
Threshold for adaptive anti-aliasing (see help for default value).
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).
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.
