NAME
       binaryring  -  A	 system	of path	tracing	particles evolves continuously
       from an initial creation.

SYNOPSIS
       binaryring [--fps] [--install] [--noinstall] [--mono] [--root]  [--win-
       dow-id  number]	[--visual  visual]  [--window] [--window-id window-id]
       [--color] [--no-color] [--growth-delay delayms] [--particle-number par-
       ticles] [--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.

       --window-id number
	       Draw on the specified window.

       --visual	visual
	       Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a vi-
	       sual  class or the id number (decimal or	hex) of	a specific vi-
	       sual.

       --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.

       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
	       The window ID to	use with --root.
