NAME

binaryring − A system of path tracing particles evolves continuously from an initial creation.

SYNOPSIS

binaryring [−−fps] [−−install] [−−noinstall] [−−mono] [−−root] [−−window−id number] [−−visual visual] [−−window] [−−window−id window−id] [−−color] [−−no−color] [−−growth−delay delayms] [−−particle−number particles] [−−ring−radius radius]

DESCRIPTION

A system of path tracing particles evolves continuously from an initial circular creation. Ages of darkness play arbitrarily with ages of light.

OPTIONS

binaryring accepts the following options:

−−fps

Display the current frame rate and CPU load.

−−install

Install a private colormap for the window.

−−mono

If on a color display, pretend we’re on a monochrome display.

−−noinstall

Don’t install a private colormap for the window.

−−root

Draw on the root window.

−−window−id number

Draw on the specified window.

−−visual visual

Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.

−−window

Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.

−−window−id window−id

Specify which window id to use.

−−color (Default)

Particles have random generated colors that gradually change over time.

−−no−color

Use the original black and white visualization.

−−growth−delay delayms (Default: 10000)

Delay in ms between growth cycles. More delay, slower (but less CPU intensive).

−−particles−number particles (Default: 5000)

The number of particles in the system. With more particles the fps can also be affected.

−−ring−radius radius (Default: 40)

The radius of the ring where the particles are born, in pixels.

ENVIRONMENT

DISPLAY

to get the default host and display number.

XENVIRONMENT

to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.

XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW

The window ID to use with −−root.
