evolvotron_render - Render an evolvotron function tree to an
image.
evolvotron_render [options] imagefile.[png|ppm]
evolvotron_render reads an evolvotron image function from
its standard input and renders it to an image in the file specified (suffix
determines type, defaults to ppm if not recognised).
Image functions can be obtained by saving them from the evolvotron
application, or using evolvotron_mutate.
See the evolvotron manual (accessible from the evolvotron
application's Help menu) for more information on image functions.
- -f, --frames
- frames Generates multi-frame animations. .fnnnnnn is inserted into
the specified filename (before the filetype suffix, if any). You can use
this on functions which weren't evolved in animation mode, but there's no
guarantee they have any interesting time/z variation.
- -h, --help
- Display a summary of command-line options and exit.
- -j, --jitter
- Enable sample jittering.
- -m, --multisample
- multisample Enables antialiased rendering. This specifies the size
of the sub-pixel sampling grid, so 1 provides the default
one-sample-per-pixel behaviour, while 4 provides 16 samples per pixel on a
4x4 grid. Unlike the main evolvotron application, there is no upper limit,
but of course rendering time increases as the square of this number.
- -o, --output
- imagefile.[ppm|png] This option is an alternative to specifying the
output filename as a positional argument.
- -s, --size
- widthxheight Specify resolution of output image. Defaults to
512x512.
- -v, --verbose
- Verbose mode; useful for monitoring progress of large renders.
