Description
A system of path tracing particles evolves continuously from an initial horizon, alternating between
colors.
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.
Name
binaryhorizon - A system of path tracing particles evolves continuously.
Options
binaryhorizon accepts the following options:
--fps Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
--install
Install a private colormap for the window.
--mono If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
--noinstall
Don't install a private colormap for the window.
--root Draw on the root window.
--window-idnumber
Draw on the specified window.
--visualvisual
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.
--window-idwindow-id
Specify which window id to use.
--color(Default)
Particles have random generated colors that gradually change over time.
--no-color
Use the original black and white visualization.
--bicolor(Default)
Particles have 2 random colors, starting as white and black.
--monocolor
Particles have 2 colors, one starting as white and gradually changing, and one staying black.
--fade(Default)
Particles gradually fade between colors over time.
--no-fade
Every particle is a random color.
--growth-delaydelayms(Default:10000)
Delay in ms between growth cycles. More delay, slower (but less CPU intensive).
--particles-numberparticles(Default:5000)
The number of particles in the system. With more particles the fps can also be affected.
--durationsecs(Default:30)
How long between full resets.
