NAME

       binaryring - A system of path tracing particles evolves continuously
       from an initial creation.


SYNOPSIS

       binaryring [-fps] [-install] [-noinstall] [-mono] [-root] [-visual
       visual] [-window] [-window-id window-id] [-color] [-no-color]
       [-growth-delay delayms] [-particle-number particles] [-ring-radius
       radius]


DESCRIPTION

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

       Ported (with some extensions) from the code by J. Tarbell at

OPTIONS

       binaryring accepts the following options:

       -fps    Display the current frame rate and CPU load.

       -install
               Install a private colormap for the window.

       -mono   If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.

       -noinstall
               Don't install a private colormap for the window.

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -visual visual
               Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a
               visual class or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
               visual.

       -window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.

       -window-id window-id
               Specify which window id to use.

       -color (Default)
               Particles have random generated colors that gradually change
               over time.

       -no-color
               Use the original black and white visualization.

       -growth-delay delayms (Default: 10000)
               Delay in ms between growth cycles. More delay, slower (but less
               CPU intensive).

       -particles-number particles (Default: 5000)
               The number of particles in the system. With more particles the
               fps can also be affected.

       -ring-radius radius (Default: 40)
               The radius of the ring where the particles are born, in pixels.


ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.

       XENVIRONMENT
               to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global
               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
