quasicrystal(6) XScreenSaver manual quasicrystal(6) NAME quasicrystal - aperiodic plane tilings. SYNOPSIS quasicrystal [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window] [--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-dimen- sional quasicrystals can be generated by adding a set of planes where x is the sine of y. Different complex aperiodic plane tilings are produced de- pending on the period, position, and rotation of the component planes, and whether the rotation of the planes is evenly distributed 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 seconds.). --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 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) 2013 by Jamie Zawinski.
