NAME

6       rd-bomb - reaction/diffusion textures

SYNOPSIS

9       rd-bomb [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background
10       color]  [-window]  [-root]  [-install]  [-visual  visual]  [-width   n]
11       [-height  n]  [-reaction n] [-diffusion n] [-size f] [-speed f] [-delay
12       millisecs] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

15       The rd-bomb program draws reaction/diffusion textures.  The code is de‐
16       rived  from  the  'd' mode of the "bomb" visual musical instrument (see
17       http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~spot/bomb.html).  I got the equations from xmor‐
18       phia  (http://www.ccsf.caltech.edu/ismap/image.html), which is based on
19       a version of the Gray-Scott model taken from:
20           John E. Pearson "Complex Patterns in a Simple System"
21           Science, 261,189, 9 July 1993.
22
23       If the frame-rate is too low, consider decreasing the width and  height
24       of the tile, or decreasing the size of the active part of the screen.

OPTIONS

28       If  one  of the reaction, diffusion, radius, and palette options is set
29       to a negative value, then that option will be set to a random appropri‐
30       ate value.
31
32       Be sure to try "-speed 1 -size 0.1 -epoch 3000".
33
34       rd-bomb accepts the following options:
35
36       -window Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
37
38       -root   Draw on the root window.
39
40       -install
41               Install a private colormap for the window.
42
43       -visual visual
44               Specify  which  visual  to use.  Legal values are the name of a
45               visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of  a  specific
46               visual.
47
48       -width n
49
50       -height n
51               Specify the size of the tile, in pixels.
52
53       -reaction n
54
55       -diffusion n
56               These are constants in the equations that effect its visual na‐
57               ture.  Each may be one of 0, 1, or 2. Default is -1: these con‐
58               stants are chosen randomly.
59
60       -radius n
61               Size of the seed.
62
63       -size f What fraction of the window is actively drawn, a floating point
64               number between 0 (exclusive) and  1  (inclusive).   Default  is
65               1.0.
66
67       -speed f
68               When  a fraction of the screen is active, the active area moves
69               at this rate (a floating point number).  Default is zero.  Sug‐
70               gested value: 1.0.
71
72       -delay millisecs
73               How  many  milliseconds  to delay between frames; default 1, or
74               about 1/1000th of a second.
75
76       -fps    Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
77

ENVIRONMENT

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