NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

OPTIONS

-w WIDTH, --width=WIDTH

Set width of the output image in pixels (for PNG) or millimeters (for SVG) (default: 500).

-h HEIGHT, --height=HEIGHT

Set height of the output image in pixels (for PNG) or millimeters (for SVG) (default: 500).

-s SIZE, --size=SIZE

Set both width and height of the output image in pixels (for PNG) or millimeters (for SVG) to the same value.

-s WIDTHxHEIGHT, --size=WIDTHxHEIGHT

Set both width and height of the output image in pixels (for PNG) or millimeters (for SVG).

-T SIZE, --tile=SIZE

Multiply both width and height of the tiled output image by the same amount.

-T WIDTHxHEIGHT, --tile=WIDTHxHEIGHT

Multiply both width and height of the tiled output image by the given amounts.

-m MAXSHAPES, --maxshapes=MAXSHAPES

Set the maximum number of shapes rendered (default: no maximum).

-x MINIMUMSIZE, --minimumsize=MINIMUMSIZE

Set the minimum size for a shape to be rendered in pixels/mm (default: 0.3).

-b BORDERSIZE, --bordersize=BORDERSIZE

Set the border size: -1 for a -8 pixel border, 0 for no border, 1 for an 8 pixel border, or 2 for a variable-sized border.

-v VARIATION, --variation=VARIATION

Set the variation code (default: random). This code determines what the final image will look like when the input contains non-deterministic rules.

-DNAME=VALUE

Declare a variable, configuration, or function. Any declaration that can be made at global scope can be entered at the command line with this option. Command line declarations override any global-scope declarations in the cfdg file with the same name. Note that function declarations require a space-delimited type identifier in front, so quotes would be required to force the shell to group the function declaration parts as one entity.

-o NAMETEMPLATE, --outputtemplate=NAMETEMPLATE

Set the output filename. In this filename, %f is replaced by the animation frame number (if any), %v and %V are replaced by the variation code (in lower or upper case, respectively), and %% is replaced by a literal %.

-a NUM, --animate=NUM

Generate NUM animation frames at 15 fps.

-a TIMExFPS, --animate=TIMExFPS

Generate TIME x FPS animation frames at the specified fps.

-f FRAME, --frame=FRAME

Generate animation FRAME only.

-z, --zoom

Zoom out during animation, when producing an animation using -a.

-V, --svg

Generate SVG (vector) output.

-Q, --quicktime

Generate Quicktime movie output.

--prores

Generate Quicktime movie output using the ProRes codec instead of the H.264 codec.

--display=DISPLAY EXECUTABLE

Display output with specified program.

-c, --crop

Crop image output.

-q, --quiet

Quiet mode; suppress non-error output.

-C, --check

Check the syntax of the cfdg file, then exit.

-t, --time

Time output; output the time taken to render the cfdg file.

-d, --cleanup

Delete old temporary files.

-P, --paramdebug

Enable debug mode to test if all parameter blocks are deallocated.

-?, --help

Show summary of options.
