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.
