NAME
       hypnowheel - draws overlapping, translucent spiral patterns

SYNOPSIS
       hypnowheel  [-display  host:display.screen]  [-visual visual] [-window]
       [-root] [-delay int] [-layers int]  [-count  int]  [-twistiness  float]
       [-speed float] [-wander] [-symmetric] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION
       Draws a series of overlapping, translucent spiral patterns.  The tight-
       ness 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.

       -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  rota-
               tions.  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-wrap-
               ping 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.
