Description
A system of path tracing particles evolves continuously from an initial circular creation. Ages of
darkness play arbitrarily with ages of light.
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
binaryring - A system of path tracing particles evolves continuously from an initial creation.
Options
binaryring 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.
--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.
--ring-radiusradius(Default:40)
The radius of the ring where the particles are born, in pixels.
