TODO

• imgui
• split up into commands: view, preview-colormap, save-image, save-video
• colormap invert option
• pass colormap values as command line option?
• see if the rendering can be made better, maybe dynamically adjust generation duration

color

possible values: -[x] #<hex> -[x] rgb(uint,uint,uint) -[x] lab(float,float,float) -[x] luv(float,float,float) -[x] oklab(float,float,float)

colormap

TODO: this : syntax is inconsistent with the function-style syntax -[x] <colormapdef>[,<colormap-scale>][,invert] name of a predefined colormap, and optional scale, and optional invert flag

colormapdef:

-[x] <name> name of a predefined colormap -[x] map(<lab|luv|oklab>, (float,float,float),...) -[x] map([rgb,] <colorlist-rgb>)

colorlist-rgb:

-[x] <colorlist-color-rgb, ...>

colorlist-color-rgb:

-[x] #<hex> -[x] (<uint>,<uint>,<uint>)

color-or-colormap

-[x] <color> -[x] <colormap>

colormap-scale

-[x] <uint> -[x] inherent -[x] global-max-age only possible if max-age is set, otherwise fallback to inherent -[x] max-age same as before

init

-[x] rect(<uint>,<uint>) -[x] square(<uint>) -[x] ellipse(<uint>,<uint>) -[x] circle(<uint>) -[x] perlin(<float>,<float>) scale and cutoff

max-age

-[x] static(<uint>) -[x] radial(<uint>,<uint>) center and corner max age, circular -[x] radial-fit(<uint>,<uint>) center and corner max age, elliptic fit into size -[x] perlin-static(<float>,<uint>,<uint>) scale and min/max -[x] perlin-dynamic(<float>, <uint>, <uint>, <float>, <uint>) scale, min, max, time-scale, time-step
