piecewise(6) XScreenSaver manual piecewise(6) NAME piecewise - lots of moving circles intersecting in interesting ways. SYNOPSIS piecewise [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number] [--delay number] [--count number] [--ncolors number] [--colorspeed number] [--minradius number] [--maxradius number] [--no-db] [--fps] DESCRIPTION This draws a bunch of moving circles which switch from visibility to invis- ibility when they intersect. 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: 5000 (0.01 seconds.). --count number Number of circles. Default: 32. --ncolors number Number of colors, only one of which is used at a time. Default: 256. --colorspeed number How fast the color changes (0 - 100). Default: 10. --minradius number Minimum circle radius (as a proportion of screen height). Default: 0.05. --maxradius number Maximum circle radius (as a proportion of screen height). Default: 0.2. --db | --no-db Whether to double buffer. --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 re- sources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property. XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW The window ID to use with --root. SEE ALSO X(1), xscreensaver(1) COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2003 by Geoffrey Irving.
