man terraform (Commandes) - a height field manipulation program
NAME
terraform - a height field manipulation program
SYNOPSIS
terraform [ generic-options ] [ -c, --chooser ] [ -f, --factor=factor ] [ -g, --generate ] [ -m, --gamma=gamma_factor ] [ -s, --size=size ] [ -t, --type=type_bitmap ] [ -u, --undo=max_undo ] [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the terraform command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
Terraform allows you to create a fractal terrain (also called a height field) and transform it using a number of algorithms. It is meant to be a tool for those who want to generate digital terrain models for use in raytracing or other simulations.
OPTIONS
Below are the terraform-specific options. For a full summary of options, run terraform --help.
- -c, --chooser
- Run the terrain chooser upon startup.
- -f, --factor=factor
- Set the scaling factor for random generation.
- -g, --generate
- Generate a random terrain upon startup.
- -m, --gamma=gamma_factor
- Set the gamma factor.
- -s, --size=size
- Set the default terrain size.
- -t, --type=type_bitmap
- Set the terrain type for random generation.
- -u, --undo=max_undo
- Set the maximum size of the undo queue.
