NAME
binaryring - A system of path tracing particles evolves continuously from an initial creation.
SYNOPSIS
binaryring [-fps] [-install] [-noinstall] [-mono] [-root] [-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.
- -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.
