SYNOPSIS

10       binaryring [--fps] [--install] [--noinstall] [--mono] [--root]  [--win‐
11       dow-id  number]  [--visual  visual]  [--window] [--window-id window-id]

13       ticles] [--ring-radius radius]

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

21       binaryring accepts the following options:
22
23       --fps   Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
24
25       --install
26               Install a private colormap for the window.
27
28       --mono  If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
29
30       --noinstall
31               Don't install a private colormap for the window.
32
33       --root  Draw on the root window.
34
35       --window-id number
36               Draw on the specified window.
37
38       --visual visual
39               Specify  which  visual  to  use. Legal values are the name of a
40               visual class or the id number (decimal or hex)  of  a  specific
41               visual.
42
43       --window
44               Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
45
46       --window-id window-id
47               Specify which window id to use.
48
49       --color (Default)
50               Particles  have  random  generated colors that gradually change
51               over time.
52
53       --no-color
54               Use the original black and white visualization.
55
56       --growth-delay delayms (Default: 10000)
57               Delay in ms between growth cycles. More delay, slower (but less
58               CPU intensive).
59
60       --particles-number particles (Default: 5000)
61               The  number of particles in the system. With more particles the
62               fps can also be affected.
63
64       --ring-radius radius (Default: 40)
65               The radius of the ring where the particles are born, in pixels.
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.
