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.
