DESCRIPTION

16       A system of path tracing particles evolves continuously from an initial
17       circular creation.  Ages of darkness  play  arbitrarily  with  ages  of
18       light.

OPTIONS

24       binaryring 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       -growth-delay delayms (Default: 10000)
56               Delay in ms between growth cycles. More delay, slower (but less
57               CPU intensive).
58
59       -particles-number particles (Default: 5000)
60               The number of particles in the system. With more particles  the
61               fps can also be affected.
62
63       -ring-radius radius (Default: 40)
64               The radius of the ring where the particles are born, in pixels.
65

ENVIRONMENT

67       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
68
69       XENVIRONMENT
70               to  get  the  name of a resource file that overrides the global
71               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
