evolvotron_render - Render an evolvotron function tree to an image.
Contents
Command-Line Options
-f,--framesframes 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,--multisamplemultisample 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,--outputimagefile.[ppm|png] This option is an alternative to specifying the output filename as a positional
argument.
-s,--sizewidthxheight Specify resolution of output image. Defaults to 512x512.
-v,--verbose
Verbose mode; useful for monitoring progress of large renders.
Description
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.
Examples
evolvotron_mutate -g | evolvotron_render -s 1024x1024 function.ppm
