NAME

       piecewise - lots of moving circles intersecting in interesting ways.

SYNOPSIS

       piecewise   [--display   host:display.screen]   [--visual   visual]   [--window]  [--root]
       [--window-id number] [--delay number] [--count number]  [--ncolors  number]  [--colorspeed
       number] [--minradius number] [--maxradius number] [--no-db] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION

       This  draws  a  bunch  of moving circles which switch from visibility to invisibility when
       they intersect.

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.

       --window-id number
               Draw on the specified window.

       --delay number
               Per-frame delay, in microseconds.  Default: 5000 (0.01 seconds.).

       --count number
               Number of circles.  Default: 32.

       --ncolors number
               Number of colors, only one of which is used at a time.  Default: 256.

       --colorspeed number
               How fast the color changes (0 - 100).  Default: 10.

       --minradius number
               Minimum circle radius (as a proportion of screen height). Default: 0.05.

       --maxradius number
               Maximum circle radius (as a proportion of screen height). Default: 0.2.

       --db | --no-db
               Whether to double buffer.

       --fps   Display the current frame rate and CPU load.

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.

       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
               The window ID to use with --root.
