OPTIONS

24       binaryhorizon accepts the following options:
25
26       -fps    Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
27
28       -install
29               Install a private colormap for the window.
30
31       -mono   If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
32
33       -noinstall
34               Don't install a private colormap for the window.
35
36       -root   Draw on the root window.
37
38       -visual visual
39               Specify  which  visual  to  use. Legal values are the name of a
40               visual class or the id number (decimal or hex)  of  a  specific
41               visual.
42
43       -window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
44
45       -window-id window-id
46               Specify which window id to use.
47
48       -color (Default)
49               Particles  have  random  generated colors that gradually change
50               over time.
51
52       -no-color
53               Use the original black and white visualization.
54
55       -bicolor (Default)
56               Particles have 2 random colors, starting as white and black.
57
58       -monocolor
59               Particles have 2 colors, one starting as  white  and  gradually
60               changing, and one staying black.
61
62       -fade (Default)
63               Particles gradually fade between colors over time.
64
65       -no-fade
66               Every particle is a random color.
67
68       -growth-delay delayms (Default: 10000)
69               Delay in ms between growth cycles. More delay, slower (but less
70               CPU intensive).
71
72       -particles-number particles (Default: 5000)
73               The number of particles in the system. With more particles  the
74               fps can also be affected.
75
76       -duration secs (Default: 30)
77               How long between full resets.
78
