NAME

       fracplanet - Create and view random fractal terrain and planets.

SYNOPSIS

       fracplanet [ <QtOptions> ] [ --help ] [ --verbose ] [ --display-list ] [ --invert-mouse-y ] [ --wireframe
       ]

DESCRIPTION

       Fracplanet generates random planets and terrain with oceans, mountains, icecaps and  rivers.   Parameters
       are  specified  interactively  and  the  results  displayed  using  OpenGL.  The generated objects can be
       exported for Pov-Ray or Blender.

       A document fully describing usage via the application's GUI is accessible from the application's  "About"
       menu once it is running.

GENERAL OPTIONS

       <QtOptions>  Standard  options  recognised by the Qt toolkit (for example -geometry <width>x<height> Note
       that these use the single-dash option style.  ).

       --help, -h Display a list of recognised arguments.

       --verbose, -v Display information about fracplanet and the GL graphics system it's running on.

RENDERING OPTIONS

       These affect the initial settings on the render controls tab, which controls the OpenGL display.

       --display-list, -d Start up the application with rendering in display list mode by default (c.f immediate
       mode).   This is particularly useful when the application is running remotely as the generated meshes are
       then only sent to the local OpenGL display hardware once.

       --invert-mouse-y, -y Start application with mouse in non-joystick mode for flight.

       --wireframe, -w Start application with rendering set to wireframe mode.
