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.

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.
