NAME
       julia - draws spinning, animating julia-set fractals

SYNOPSIS
       julia  [--display  host:display.screen]	[--foreground  color] [--back-
       ground color] [--window]	[--root] [--window-id  number][--mono]	[--in-
       stall]  [--visual  visual]  [--ncolors  integer]	[--delay microseconds]
       [--cycles integer] [--count integer]

       [--fps]

DESCRIPTION
       The julia program draws spinning, animating julia-set fractals.

       It uses ifs {w0 = sqrt(x-c), w1 = -sqrt(x-c)} with random iteration  to
       plot  the  julia	 set, and sinusoidially	varied parameters for the set,
       and plots parameters with a circle.

       One thing to note is that count is the depth of the search tree,	so the
       number of points	computed is (2^count)-1.  I use	8 or 9 on a dx266  and
       it  looks okay.	The sinusoidal variation of the	parameter might	not be
       as interesting as it could, but it still	gives an idea of the effect of
       the parameter.

       Dragging	the mouse in the window	uses the mouse's position as the  con-
       trol point for the generation of	ths set.

OPTIONS
       julia 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.

       --mono  If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.

       --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.

       --ncolors integer
	       How  many  colors  should  be used (if possible).  Default 200.
	       The colors used cycle through the hue, making  N	 stops	around
	       the color wheel.

       --cycles	integer

       --count integer

       --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.
