NAME

       cynosure - gentle overlapping squares screen saver.

SYNOPSIS

       cynosure [-display host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-delay number]
       [-ncolors number] [-iterations number] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

       A hack similar to `greynetic', but less frenetic. The first implementation was by  Stephen
       Linhart;  then  Ozymandias  G.  Desiderata  wrote  a  Java  applet  clone.  That clone was
       discovered by Jamie Zawinski, and ported to C for inclusion here.

OPTIONS

       -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.

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -delay number
               Per-frame delay, in microseconds.  Default: 500000 (0.50 seconds.).

       -ncolors number
               Number of Colors.  Default: 128.

       -iterations number
               Duration.  2 - 200.  Default: 100.

       -fps    Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
