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 in-
     put 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 applica-
     tion, 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
