FRACPLANET(1) Fracplanet FRACPLANET(1)NAMEfracplanet - Create and view random fractal terrain and planets.
SYNOPSISfracplanet [ <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 accessi‐
ble 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.
