NAME

       hypnowheel - draws overlapping, translucent spiral patterns

SYNOPSIS

       hypnowheel  [-display  host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-delay int] [-layers int]
       [-count int] [-twistiness float] [-speed float] [-wander] [-symmetric] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

       Draws a series of overlapping, translucent spiral patterns.  The tightness of their spirals fluctuates in
       and out.

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 int
               Delay between frames, in microseconds.  Default 20000.

       -layers int
               How many different spirals to draw at once.  Default 4.

       -count int
               How many arms each spiral should have.  Default 11.

       -twistiness float
               How tightly wound the spirals can  become,  measured  in  rotations.   Default  4.0  (four  times
               around).

       -speed ratio
               Less than 1 for slower, greater than 1 for faster.  Default 1.

       -wander If specified, then the centers of the spirals will wander around, rather than them all having the
               same origin.

       -symmetric
               If specified, then each pair of left-wrapping and right-wrapping spirals will be mirror images of
               each other.

       -fps    Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.

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.
