NAME
       fluidballs - the	physics	of bouncing balls.

SYNOPSIS
       fluidballs [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window]
       [--root]	[--window-id number] [--count number] [--size number] [--grav-
       ity  number]  [--wind  number]  [--elasticity  number] [--delay number]
       [--nonrandom] [--no-shake] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION
       Models the physics of bouncing balls, or	 of  particles	in  a  gas  or
       fluid,  depending  on  the  settings.  If "Shake	Box" is	selected, then
       every now and then, the box will	be rotated, changing  which  direction
       is down (in order to keep the settled balls in motion.)

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.

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

       --count number
	       How many	balls to display.  Default: 300.

       --size number
	       Maximum size of each ball.  Default: 25.

       --gravity number
	       Coefficient  of	gravity.   Useful  values are <	0.1.  Default:
	       0.01.

       --wind number
	       Wind.  Useful values are	< 0.1.	Default: 0.00.

       --elasticity number
	       Coefficient of elasticity.  Useful values are 0.2 to 1.0.   De-
	       fault: 0.97.  Lower numbers make	less bouncy balls.

       --delay number
	       Per-frame  delay,  in  microseconds.  Default: 10000 (0.01 sec-
	       onds.).

       --nonrandom
	       Make all	balls be the same size.

       --no-nonrandom
	       Make the	balls be random	sizes.	Default.

       --shake | --no-shake
	       Whether to shake	the box	if the system seems  to	 have  settled
	       down.  "Shake" means "change the	direction of Down."

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

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.
