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.
