SYNOPSIS

       hypnowheel  [--display  host:display.screen]  [--visual  visual] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number]
       [--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.

       --window-id number
               Draw on the specified 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.

       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
               The window ID to use with --root.
