SYNOPSIS

9       piecewise  [-display  host:display.screen]  [-visual  visual] [-window]
10       [-root] [-delay number] [-count number] [-ncolors number]  [-colorspeed
11       number] [-minradius number] [-maxradius number] [-no-db] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

14       This  draws  a  bunch of moving circles which switch from visibility to
15       invisibility when they intersect.
16

OPTIONS

18       -visual visual
19               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
20               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
21               visual.
22
23       -window Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
24
25       -root   Draw on the root window.
26
27       -delay number
28               Per-frame delay, in microseconds.   Default:  5000  (0.01  sec‐
29               onds.).
30
31       -count number
32               Number of circles.  Default: 32.
33
34       -ncolors number
35               Number  of  colors,  only  one of which is used at a time.  De‐
36               fault: 256.
37
38       -colorspeed number
39               How fast the color changes (0 - 100).  Default: 10.
40
41       -minradius number
42               Minimum circle radius (as a proportion of screen  height).  De‐
43               fault: 0.05.
44
45       -maxradius number
46               Maximum  circle  radius (as a proportion of screen height). De‐
47               fault: 0.2.
48
49       -db | -no-db
50               Whether to double buffer.
51
52       -fps    Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
53

ENVIRONMENT

55       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
56
57       XENVIRONMENT
58               to get the name of a resource file that  overrides  the  global
59               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
