NAME

6       Kaleidescope - rotating line segments
7

SYNOPSIS

9       kaleidescope [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-back‐
10       ground   color]   [-window]   [-root]   [-install]   [-visual   visual]
11       [-color_mode  mono  |  nice  |  greedy] [-nsegments int] [-ntrails int]
12       [-local_rotation int] [-global_rotation int]  [-delay  usecs]  [-redmin
13       int]  [-greenmin  int] [-bluemin int] [-redrange int] [-greenrange int]
14       [-bluerange int] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

17       The kaleidescope program draws line segments  in  a  symmetric  pattern
18       that evolves over time.
19

OPTIONS

21       kaleidescope accepts the following options:
22
23       -root   Draw on the root window.
24
25       -color_mode mono | nice | greedy
26               Specify  how  kaleidescope  uses colors. Mono uses just the de‐
27               fault foreground and background colors. Nice uses one color for
28               each  segment  (specified by nsegments). Greedy uses (ntrails *
29               nsegments) + 1  colors.
30
31       -install
32               Install a private colormap for the window.
33
34       -visual visual
35               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
36               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
37               visual.
38
39       -nsegments integer
40               The number of segments to draw. Default is 7.
41
42       -ntrails integer
43               The number of trails to draw. Default is 100.
44
45       -local_rotation integer
46               The rate at which segments rotate around their center.  Default
47               is -59.
48
49       -global_rotation integer
50               The rate at which segments rotate around the center of the win‐
51               dow.  Default is 1.
52
53       -redmin, -greenmin, -bluemin, -redrange, -greenrange, -bluerange
54               All take an integer argument. When colors are randomly  chosen,
55               they  are  chosen  from the interval min to min plus range. The
56               minimums default to 30000. The ranges default to 20000.
57
58       -delay microseconds
59               How much of a delay should be introduced between steps  of  the
60               animation.  Default is 20000, or about 5 frames a second.
61
62       -fps    Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
63

ENVIRONMENT

65       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
66
67       XENVIRONMENT
68               to  get  the  name of a resource file that overrides the global
69               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
