.SH DESCRIPTION
A system of path tracing particles evolves continuously from an
initial horizon, alternating between colors. 
.SH OPTIONS
.I binaryhorizon
accepts the following options:
.TP 8
.B \-\-fps
Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
.TP 8
.B \-\-install
Install a private colormap for the window.
.TP 8
.B \-\-mono
If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
.TP 8
.B \-\-noinstall
Don't install a private colormap for the window.
.TP 8
.B \-\-root
Draw on the root window.
.TP 8
.B \-\-window\-id \fInumber\fP
Draw on the specified window.
.TP 8
.B \-\-visual \fIvisual\fP
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.
.TP 8
.B \-\-window
Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
.TP 8
.B \-\-window\-id \fIwindow\-id\fP
Specify which window id to use.
.TP 8
.B \-\-color (Default)
Particles have random generated colors that gradually change over time.
.TP 8
.B \-\-no\-color
Use the original black and white visualization.
.TP 8
.B \-\-bicolor (Default)
Particles have 2 random colors, starting as white and black.
.TP 8
.B \-\-monocolor
Particles have 2 colors, one starting as white and gradually changing,
and one staying black.
.TP 8
.B \-\-fade (Default)
Particles gradually fade between colors over time.
.TP 8
.B \-\-no-fade
Every particle is a random color.
.TP 8
.B \-\-growth\-delay \fIdelayms\fP (Default: \fI10000\fP)
Delay in ms between growth cycles. More delay, slower (but less CPU intensive).
.TP 8
.B \-\-particles\-number \fIparticles\fP (Default: \fI5000\fP)
The number of particles in the system. With more particles the fps
can also be affected.
.TP 8
.B \-\-duration \fIsecs\fP (Default: \fI30\fP)
How long between full resets.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.PP
.TP 8
.B DISPLAY
to get the default host and display number.
.TP 8
.B XENVIRONMENT
to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global
resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
.TP 8
.B XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
The window ID to use with \fI\-\-root\fP.
