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.
