DESCRIPTION

16       A system of path tracing particles evolves continuously from an initial
17       horizon, alternating between colors.
18

OPTIONS

20       binaryhorizon accepts the following options:
21
22       -fps    Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
23
24       -install
25               Install a private colormap for the window.
26
27       -mono   If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
28
29       -noinstall
30               Don't install a private colormap for the window.
31
32       -root   Draw on the root window.
33
34       -visual visual
35               Specify which visual to use. Legal values are  the  name  of  a
36               visual  class  or  the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
37               visual.
38
39       -window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
40
41       -window-id window-id
42               Specify which window id to use.
43
44       -color (Default)
45               Particles have random generated colors  that  gradually  change
46               over time.
47
48       -no-color
49               Use the original black and white visualization.
50
51       -bicolor (Default)
52               Particles have 2 random colors, starting as white and black.
53
54       -monocolor
55               Particles  have  2  colors, one starting as white and gradually
56               changing, and one staying black.
57
58       -fade (Default)
59               Particles gradually fade between colors over time.
60
61       -no-fade
62               Every particle is a random color.
63
64       -growth-delay delayms (Default: 10000)
65               Delay in ms between growth cycles. More delay, slower (but less
66               CPU intensive).
67
68       -particles-number particles (Default: 5000)
69               The  number of particles in the system. With more particles the
70               fps can also be affected.
71
72       -duration secs (Default: 30)
73               How long between full resets.
74

ENVIRONMENT

76       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
77
78       XENVIRONMENT
79               to get the name of a resource file that  overrides  the  global
80               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
