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       --window-id number
35               Draw on the specified window.
36
37       --visual visual
38               Specify which visual to use. Legal values are  the  name  of  a
39               visual  class  or  the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
40               visual.
41
42       --window
43               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
