quasicrystal(6)		      XScreenSaver manual	       quasicrystal(6)

NAME
       quasicrystal - aperiodic	plane tilings.

SYNOPSIS
       quasicrystal  [--display	host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--win-
       dow] [--root] [--window-id number] [--delay  number]  [--speed  number]
       [--count	  number]   [--contrast	  percent]  [--no-wander]  [--no-spin]
       [--asymmetric] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION
       A quasicrystal is a structure that is ordered but  aperiodic.   Two-di-
       mensional  quasicrystals	 can  be  generated  by	adding a set of	planes
       where x is the sine of y. Different complex aperiodic plane tilings are
       produced	depending on the period, position, and rotation	of the	compo-
       nent  planes, and whether the rotation of the planes is evenly distrib-
       uted around the circle (the "symmetric" option, above) or  random.  See
       also the	"RD-Bomb", "CWaves" and	"Penrose" screen savers.

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.

       --delay number
	       Per-frame  delay,  in  microseconds.  Default: 30000 (0.03 sec-
	       onds.).

       --speed number
	       Animation speed.	2 for twice as fast, 0.5 for half as fast.

       --contrast contrast
	       Contrast. Sort of.  Default 30%.

       --count number
	       How many	planes to use. Default 17.

       --wander	| --no-wander
	       Whether the planes should displace horizontally and vertically.

       --spin |	--no-spin
	       Whether the planes should rotate.

       --asymmetric
	       Allow each plane	to rotate freely instead of being  constrained
	       to an even distribution around the circle.

       --fps | --no-fps
	       Whether	to  show  a frames-per-second display at the bottom of
	       the screen.

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.
