NAME
     rd-bomb - reaction/diffusion textures

SYNOPSIS
     rd-bomb  [--display host:display.screen] [--foreground color] [--background
     color] [--window] [--root] [--window-id  number][--install]  [--visual  vi-
     sual]  [--width  n]  [--height n] [--reaction n] [--diffusion n] [--size f]
     [--speed f] [--delay millisecs] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION
     The rd-bomb program draws reaction/diffusion textures.

OPTIONS
     If one of the reaction, diffusion, radius, and palette options is set to  a
     negative value, then that option will be set to a random appropriate value.

     Be sure to try "-speed 1 -size 0.1 -epoch 3000".

     rd-bomb accepts the following options:

     --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.

     --install
	     Install a private colormap for the window.

     --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.

     --width n

     --height n
	     Specify the size of the tile, in pixels.

     --reaction n

     --diffusion n
	     These are constants in the equations that effect its visual nature.
	     Each  may	be one of 0, 1, or 2. Default is -1: these constants are
	     chosen randomly.

     --radius n
	     Size of the seed.

     --size f
	     What fraction of the window is actively  drawn,  a  floating  point
	     number between 0 (exclusive) and 1 (inclusive).  Default is 1.0.

     --speed f
	     When  a  fraction of the screen is active, the active area moves at
	     this rate (a floating point number).  Default is  zero.   Suggested
	     value: 1.0.

     --delay millisecs
	     How  many milliseconds to delay between frames; default 1, or about
	     1/1000th of a second.

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

HISTORY
     The code is derived from the 'd' mode of the "Bomb" visual musical  instru-
     ment,  also  by  Scott  Draves.  The equations come from Xmorphia, which is
     based on a version of the Gray-Scott model taken from:

     John E. Pearson "Complex Patterns in a Simple System"
     Science, 261,189, 9 July 1993.

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.
