NAME
fractgen - Fractal Generator

SYNOPSIS
fractgen [file ...]
fractgen [-h | - -help]
fractgen [-v | - -version]

DESCRIPTION
fractgen is a simple Qt-based fractal generator program for Mandelbrot fractals. The image size is only limited by virtual memory. It is possible to zoom into images. Image parameters can be saved in and loaded from FractGen Settings Files (FSF). These files are encoded in XML. While the standard file extension is .fsf, fractgen detects the file type by reading its XML structure, meaning the extension is not strictly required.
The intention of this program is to generate graphics to be post-processed by other image tools, e.g. in order to generate nice screen backgrounds or book covers.
This is the Qt version of FractGen.

EXIT STATUS
The fractgen tool exits with 0 on success, and >0 in case of an error.

The following argument may be provided:

file ...

-h | - -help
    Show arguments help and exit.

-v | - -version
    Show version and exit.
