💖 fractgen(1) — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, come sit with me because fractgen is literally one of my faves and you're gonna be obsessed. it's a Qt-based fractal generator, it makes Mandelbrot fractals, and it's giving main character energy fr fr. 🌈✨

🦋 NAME 🦋

fractgen — Fractal Generator

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

fractgen [fsf_file ...] [-h | --help] [-v | --version]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

fractgen — a.k.a. FractGen — is a simple Qt-based fractal generator program for Mandelbrot fractals. no cap. 🌀

the image size? only limited by virtual memory, bestie. virtual memory is the only limit, that's the whole mood.

you can zoom into images. 🔍 iconic behaviour honestly.

image parameters can be saved in XML files and loaded from XML files. so you can keep your little settings babies safe. 🥺

calculated images can be exported as PNG files. 🎀

and the intention of this program — the whole vibe check — is to generate graphics to be post-processed by other image tools, e.g. in order to generate nice screen backgrounds or book covers. 👑💅 (yes, your wallpaper era starts here.)

also important: this is the Qt version of FractGen. 🦋

🌟 ARGUMENTS 🌟

the following argument may be provided (only one bullet each, we're not playing):

  • -h | --help — show arguments help and exit. that's it, that's the girl. 🙈
  • -v | --version — show version and exit. slay. 🫶

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

here's the little code-block menu of everything you can do, verbatim, exactly as the powers that be wrote it:

fractgen -h
fractgen -v
fractgen fractgen.fsf
fractgen beta01.fsf beta02.fsf beta03.fsf
