EVOLVOTRON_RENDER(1)		  Evolvotron		  EVOLVOTRON_RENDER(1)

NAME
       evolvotron_render - Render an evolvotron	function tree to an image.

SYNOPSIS
       evolvotron_render [options] imagefile.[png|ppm]

DESCRIPTION
       evolvotron_render  reads	an evolvotron image function from its standard
       input and renders it to an image	in the file specified  (suffix	deter-
       mines type, defaults to ppm if not recognised).

       Image  functions	can be obtained	by saving them from the	evolvotron ap-
       plication, or using evolvotron_mutate.

       See the evolvotron manual (accessible from the evolvotron application's
       Help menu) for more information on image	functions.

COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS
       -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.

EXAMPLES
       evolvotron_mutate -g | evolvotron_render	-s 1024x1024 function.ppm
