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       --window-id number
26               Draw on the specified window.
27
28       --color_mode mono | nice | greedy
29               Specify  how  kaleidescope  uses colors. Mono uses just the de‐
30               fault foreground and background colors. Nice uses one color for
31               each  segment  (specified by nsegments). Greedy uses (ntrails *
32               nsegments) + 1  colors.
33
34       --install
35               Install a private colormap for the 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       --nsegments integer
43               The number of segments to draw. Default is 7.
44
45       --ntrails integer
46               The number of trails to draw. Default is 100.
47
48       --local_rotation integer
49               The rate at which segments rotate around their center.  Default
50               is -59.
51
52       --global_rotation integer
53               The rate at which segments rotate around the center of the win‐
54               dow.  Default is 1.
55
56       --redmin, --greenmin, --bluemin, --redrange, --greenrange, --bluerange
57               All take an integer argument. When colors are randomly  chosen,
58               they  are  chosen  from the interval min to min plus range. The
59               minimums default to 30000. The ranges default to 20000.
60
61       --delay microseconds
62               How much of a delay should be introduced between steps  of  the
63               animation.  Default is 20000, or about 5 frames a second.
64
65       --fps   Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
66

ENVIRONMENT

68       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
69
70       XENVIRONMENT
71               to  get  the  name of a resource file that overrides the global
72               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
73
74       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
75               The window ID to use with --root.
