DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

23       binaryring accepts the following options:
24
25       -fps    Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
26
27       -install
28               Install a private colormap for the window.
29
30       -mono   If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
31
32       -noinstall
33               Don't install a private colormap for the window.
34
35       -root   Draw on the root window.
36
37       -visual visual
38               Specify  which  visual  to  use. Legal values are the name of a
39               visual class or the id number (decimal or hex)  of  a  specific
40               visual.
41
42       -window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
43
44       -window-id window-id
45               Specify which window id to use.
46
47       -color (Default)
48               Particles  have  random  generated colors that gradually change
49               over time.
50
51       -no-color
52               Use the original black and white visualization.
53
54       -growth-delay delayms (Default: 10000)
55               Delay in ms between growth cycles. More delay, slower (but less
56               CPU intensive).
57
58       -particles-number particles (Default: 5000)
59               The  number of particles in the system. With more particles the
60               fps can also be affected.
61
62       -ring-radius radius (Default: 40)
63               The radius of the ring where the particles are born, in pixels.
64

ENVIRONMENT

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