NAME
binaryring - A system of path tracing particles evolves continuously
from an initial creation.
SYNOPSIS
binaryring [-fps] [-install] [-noinstall] [-mono] [-root] [-visual vis-
ual] [-window] [-window-id window-id] [-color] [-no-color] [-growth-de-
lay delayms] [-particle-number particles] [-ring-radius radius]
DESCRIPTION
A system of path tracing particles evolves continuously from an initial
circular creation. Ages of darkness play arbitrarily with ages of
light.

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.
-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.
-window-id window-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-delay delayms (Default: 10000)
Delay in ms between growth cycles. More delay, slower (but less
CPU intensive).
-particles-number particles (Default: 5000)
The number of particles in the system. With more particles the
fps can also be affected.
-ring-radius radius (Default: 40)
The radius of the ring where the particles are born, in pixels.
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.
