SYNOPSIS

9       piecewise  [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window]
10       [--root]  [--window-id  number]  [--delay  number]   [--count   number]

DESCRIPTION

15       This draws a bunch of moving circles which switch  from  visibility  to
16       invisibility when they intersect.
17

OPTIONS

19       --visual visual
20               Specify  which  visual  to use.  Legal values are the name of a
21               visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of  a  specific
22               visual.
23
24       --window
25               Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
26
27       --root  Draw on the root window.
28
29       --window-id number
30               Draw on the specified window.
31
32       --delay number
33               Per-frame  delay,  in  microseconds.   Default: 5000 (0.01 sec‐
34               onds.).
35
36       --count number
37               Number of circles.  Default: 32.
38
39       --ncolors number
40               Number of colors, only one of which is used  at  a  time.   De‐
41               fault: 256.
42
43       --colorspeed number
44               How fast the color changes (0 - 100).  Default: 10.
45
46       --minradius number
47               Minimum  circle  radius (as a proportion of screen height). De‐
48               fault: 0.05.
49
50       --maxradius number
51               Maximum circle radius (as a proportion of screen  height).  De‐
52               fault: 0.2.
53
54       --db | --no-db
55               Whether to double buffer.
56
57       --fps   Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
58

ENVIRONMENT

60       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
61
62       XENVIRONMENT
63               to  get  the  name of a resource file that overrides the global
64               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
