X Version 11                                   6.08 (10-Oct-2023)                                   nerverot(6x)

nerverot should have more models.

       XDBE should be detected and used, if available.

       The goal of nerverot is to be interesting and compelling to watch, yet induce a state of nervous edginess
       in the viewer. This manpage describes v1.3 of the program.

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.

       nerverot - induces edginess in the viewer

nerverot accepts the following options:

       --window
               Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.

       --root  Draw on the root window.

       --window-idnumber
               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.

       --visualvisual
               Which  visual  to use.  Legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or
               hex) of a specific visual.

       --db--no-db Use double-buffering (or not, respectively). Double-buffering may make things look better
               for larger line widths and/or larger numbers of blots, but "better" may equate to  yielding  less
               of  the  desired  edginess  effect.  You'll be calmer after watching the double-buffered variant;
               you're more likely to go into epileptic fits with it off. Hence, it is off  (false)  by  default,
               resource doubleBuffer.

       --colorsinteger
               How many colors should be used (if possible). The colors form a smooth ramp between two randomly-
               chosen colors. Defaults to 4, resource colors.

       --delaymicroseconds
               The interframe delay, in microseconds. Defaults to 10000, resource delay.

       --max-itersinteger
               The  maximum  number of iterations (frames) before a new model is generated. The actual number of
               iterations per model is a random number between 1 and this  value.  Defaults  to  1200,  resource
               maxIters.

       --countinteger
               How  many  "blots"  to  draw  at  a time. This number may be rounded down to fit the particularly
               chosen model, and has a fixed minimum per-model.  Defaults to 250, resource count.

       --line-widthinteger
               The width of the lines to draw. 0 means an optimized pixel-thick line.  Defaults to  0,  resource
               lineWidth.

       --event-chancefraction
               The  chance,  per  iteration,  for a life-altering event to occur (such as picking a new rotation
               target), in the range 0..1. Defaults to 0.2, resource eventChance.

       --iter-amtfraction
               The fraction of movement towards a target (such as rotation angle  or  scale)  that  happens  per
               iteration, in the range 0..1. Defaults to 0.01, resource iterAmt.

       --nervousnessfraction
               How  nervous  the  drawing  is, in the range 0..1. This is how jumpy the points on each blot are.
               Defaults to 0.3, resource nervousness.

       --max-nerve-radiusfraction
               The maximum radius of blot nervousness, as a fraction of the radius of the  blot,  in  the  range
               0..1. Defaults to 0.7, resource maxNerveRadius.

       --min-radiusinteger
               The minimum radius for a blot, in the range 1..100. Defaults to 3, resource minRadius.

       --max-radiusinteger
               The maximum radius for a blot, in the range 1..100. Defaults to 25, resource maxRadius.

       --min-scalefraction
               The  minimum  overall  scale  of  drawing, as a fraction of min(windowHeight,windowWidth), in the
               range 0..10. Defaults to 0.6, resource minScale.

       --max-scalefraction
               The maximum overall scale of drawing, as a  fraction  of  min(windowHeight,windowWidth),  in  the
               range 0..10. Defaults to 1.75, resource maxScale.

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