NAME

       julia - draws spinning, animating julia-set fractals

SYNOPSIS

       julia  [--display  host:display.screen]  [--foreground  color]  [--background  color] [--window] [--root]
       [--window-id number][--mono] [--install] [--visual visual]  [--ncolors  integer]  [--delay  microseconds]
       [--cycles integer] [--count integer]

       [--fps]

DESCRIPTION

       The julia program draws spinning, animating julia-set fractals.

       It  uses  ifs  {w0  =  sqrt(x-c),  w1  =  -sqrt(x-c)}  with  random  iteration to plot the julia set, and
       sinusoidially varied parameters for the set, and plots parameters with a circle.

       One thing to note is that count is the depth of the search tree, so the  number  of  points  computed  is
       (2^count)-1.  I use 8 or 9 on a dx266 and it looks okay.  The sinusoidal variation of the parameter might
       not be as interesting as it could, but it still gives an idea of the effect of the parameter.

       Dragging the mouse in the window uses the mouse's position as the control point for the generation of ths
       set.

OPTIONS

       julia accepts the following options:

       --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.

       --mono  If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.

       --install
               Install a private colormap for the window.

       --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.

       --ncolors integer
               How many colors should be used (if possible).  Default 200.  The colors used  cycle  through  the
               hue, making N stops around the color wheel.

       --cycles integer

       --count integer

       --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.
