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.
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.
