EVOLVOTRON_MUTATE(1) Evolvotron EVOLVOTRON_MUTATE(1)
NAME
evolvotron_mutate - Render an evolvotron function tree to an image.
SYNOPSIS
evolvotron_mutate < function_in.xml > function_out.xml
evolvotron_mutate -g > function_out.xml
DESCRIPTION
evolvotron_mutate either mutates an existing image function read from
standard input, or (with the -g option) creates a new image function.
In either case the output image function is written to standard output.
The mutation parameters and function weightings are the same as used by
evolvotron in its default reset state.
See the evolvotron user manual (accessible from the evolvotron
application's Help menu) for more information on image functions.
COMMANDLINE OPTIONS
-g, --genesis
Specifies that no function should be read from standard input.
The output function is created at random.
-h, --help
Display information on command line arguments and exit.
-l, --linear
Created functions (if they are rendered as animations) will sweep
z linearly (rather than sinusoidally).
-p, --spheremap
Created functions will be tagged as spheremaps.
-v, --verbose
Enables some additional logging to standard error.
EXAMPLES
evolvotron_mutate -g | tee function0.xml | evolvotron_render
function0.ppm
evolvtron_mutate < function0.xml > function1.xml
