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.

FILES

/etc/terraformrc: The systemwide initialization file.

~/.terraform/terraformr: The personal initialization file.
