DESCRIPTION

17       The julia program draws spinning, animating julia-set fractals.
18
19       It uses ifs {w0 = sqrt(x-c), w1 = -sqrt(x-c)} with random iteration  to
20       plot  the  julia  set, and sinusoidially varied parameters for the set,
21       and plots parameters with a circle.
22
23       One thing to note is that count is the depth of the search tree, so the
24       number  of points computed is (2^count)-1.  I use 8 or 9 on a dx266 and
25       it looks okay.  The sinusoidal variation of the parameter might not  be
26       as interesting as it could, but it still gives an idea of the effect of
27       the parameter.

OPTIONS

31       julia accepts the following options:
32
33       -window Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
34
35       -root   Draw on the root window.
36
37       -mono   If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
38
39       -install
40               Install a private colormap for the window.
41
42       -visual visual
43               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
44               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
45               visual.
46
47       -ncolors integer
48               How many colors should be used  (if  possible).   Default  200.
49               The  colors  used  cycle through the hue, making N stops around
50               the color wheel.
51
52       -cycles integer
53
54
55       -count integer
56
57
58       -mouse
59
60       -nomouse
61               If -mouse is specified, the control point of the Julia set will
62               be  derived from the position of the mouse in the window.  When
63               the mouse is not in the window, the control point is chosen the
64               normal way.
65
66       -fps    Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
67

ENVIRONMENT

69       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
70
71       XENVIRONMENT
72               to  get  the  name of a resource file that overrides the global
73               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
