16

OPTIONS

18       halo accepts the following options:
19
20       -window Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
21
22       -root   Draw on the root window.
23
24       -mono   If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
25
26       -install
27               Install a private colormap for the window.
28
29       -visual visual
30               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
31               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
32               visual.
33
34       -count integer
35               How many circles to draw.  Default 0, meaning random.
36
37       -mode seuss | ramp | random
38               In seuss mode, alternating striped curves will be drawn.
39
40               In ramp mode, a color ramp will be drawn.
41
42               random means pick the mode randomly.
43
44       -delay microseconds
45               How much of a delay should be introduced between steps  of  the
46               animation.  Default 100000, or about 0.1 second.
47
48       -colors integer
49               How many colors to use.  Default 100.
50
51       -animate
52               If  specified, then the centerpoints of the circles will bounce
53               around.  Otherwise, the circles will be drawn once, erased, and
54               a new set of circles will be drawn.
55
56       -fps    Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
