Slackware 13.37slackware-13.37

Mon Apr 25 13:37:00 UTC 2011
Slackware 13.37 x86_64 stable is released!

Thanks to everyone who pitched in on this release: the Slackware team,
the folks producing upstream code, and linuxquestions.org for providing
a great forum for collaboration and testing.

The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a
dual-sided
32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD.  Please consider supporting the Slackware
project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com.  We're taking
pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription.

As always, thanks to the Slackware community for testing, suggestions,
and feedback.  :-)

Have fun!

+.SH NAME
+xaos - Fast interactive real-time fractal zoomer/morpher
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+xaos [\fIOPTIONS\fR]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+XaoS is a fast portable real-time interactive fractal zoomer. It
+displays the Mandelbrot set (among other escape time fractals) and
+allows you to zoom smoothly into the fractal. Various coloring modes are
+provided for both the points inside and outside the selected set. In
+addition, switching between Julia and Mandelbrot fractal types and
+displaying planes is provided. The first version was a poorly written
+Mandelbrot viewer by Thomas later modified by Jan to support high
+frame-rate zooming. Other additions were later made including autopilot
+(for those of you without driver licenses), palette changing, PNG
+saving, and fractal inversion.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+
+ -delay          number
+                  Delay screen updates (milliseconds)
+ -driver         string
+                  Select driver
+ -list            List available drivers. Then exit
+ -config          Print configuration. Then exit
+ -speedtest       Test speed of calculation loop. Then exit
+ -threads        number
+                  Set number of threads (CPUs) to use
+ -pipe           string
+                  Accept commands from pipe (use "-" for stdin)
+ -maxframerate   number
+                  Maximal framerate (0 for unlimited - default)
+
+Screen size options: 
+
+  Knowledge of exact screen size makes random dot stereogram look better. 
+  Also is used for choosing correct view area
+
+ -screenwidth    f.point
+                  exact size of screen in centimeters
+ -screenheight   f.point
+                  exact size of screen in centimeters
+
+  Use this option in case you use some kind of virtual screen
+  or something similiar that confuses previous options
+
+ -pixelwidth     f.point
+                  exact size of one pixel in centimeters
+ -pixelheight    f.point
+                  exact size of one pixel in centimeters
+
+Animation rendering:
+
+ -render         string
+                  Render animation into seqence of .png files
+ -basename       string

+ -renderimage    string
+                  256 or truecolor
+ -renderframerate  f.point
+                  framerate
+ -antialiasing    Perform antialiasing (slow, requires quite lot of memory)
+ -alwaysrecalc    Always recalculate whole image (slowes down rendering, increases quality)
+ -rendervectors   Render motion vectors (should be used for MPEG encoding)
+ -iframedist     number
+                  Recommended distance between I frames in pat file (should be used for MPEG encoding)
