NAME
       binaryhorizon - A system of path tracing particles evolves
       continuously.

SYNOPSIS
       binaryhorizon [--fps] [--install] [--noinstall] [--mono] [--root]
       [--window-id number] [--visual visual] [--window] [--window-id
       window-id] [--color] [--no-color] [--growth-delay delayms]
       [--particle-number particles] [--duration secs] [--bicolor]
       [--monocolor]

DESCRIPTION
       A system of path tracing particles evolves continuously from an initial
       horizon, alternating between colors.

OPTIONS
       binaryhorizon 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.

       --bicolor (Default)
               Particles have 2 random colors, starting as white and black.

       --monocolor
               Particles have 2 colors, one starting as white and gradually
               changing, and one staying black.

       --fade (Default)
               Particles gradually fade between colors over time.

       --no-fade
               Every particle is a random color.

       --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.

       --duration secs (Default: 30)
               How long between full resets.

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.
