NAME

       quasicrystal - aperiodic plane tilings.

SYNOPSIS

       quasicrystal  [-display  host:display.screen]  [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-delay number] [-speed
       number] [-count number] [-contrast percent] [-no-wander] [-no-spin] [-asymmetric] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

       A quasicrystal is a structure that is  ordered  but  aperiodic.   Two-dimensional  quasicrystals  can  be
       generated  by  adding a set of planes where x is the sine of y. Different complex aperiodic plane tilings
       are produced depending on the period, position, and rotation of the component  planes,  and  whether  the
       rotation of the planes is evenly distributed around the circle (the "symmetric" option, above) or random.
       See also the "RD-Bomb", "CWaves" and "Penrose" screen savers.

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: 30000 (0.03 seconds.).

       -speed number
               Animation speed. 2 for twice as fast, 0.5 for half as fast.

       -contrast contrast
               Contrast. Sort of.  Default 30%.

       -count number
               How many planes to use. Default 17.

       -wander | -no-wander
               Whether the planes should displace horizontally and vertically.

       -spin | -no-spin
               Whether the planes should rotate.

       -asymmetric
               Allow each plane to rotate freely instead of being constrained to an even distribution around the
               circle.

       -fps | -no-fps
               Whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of the screen.

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.
