NAME
       Kaleidescope - rotating line segments

SYNOPSIS
       kaleidescope   [--display   host:display.screen]	 [--foreground	color]
       [--background color]  [--window]	 [--root]  [--window-id	 number][--in-
       stall]  [--visual  visual]  [--color_mode mono |	nice | greedy] [-nseg-
       ments int] [--ntrails int]  [--local_rotation  int]  [--global_rotation
       int]  [--delay  usecs]  [--redmin int] [--greenmin int] [--bluemin int]
       [--redrange int]	[--greenrange int] [--bluerange	int] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION
       The kaleidescope	program	draws line segments  in	 a  symmetric  pattern
       that evolves over time.

OPTIONS
       kaleidescope accepts the	following options:

       --root  Draw on the root	window.

       --window-id number
	       Draw on the specified window.

       --color_mode mono | nice	| greedy
	       Specify	how  kaleidescope  uses	colors.	Mono uses just the de-
	       fault foreground	and background colors. Nice uses one color for
	       each segment (specified by nsegments). Greedy uses  (ntrails  *
	       nsegments) + 1  colors.

       --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.

       --nsegments integer
	       The number of segments to draw. Default is 7.

       --ntrails integer
	       The number of trails to draw. Default is	100.

       --local_rotation	integer
	       The  rate at which segments rotate around their center. Default
	       is -59.

       --global_rotation integer
	       The rate	at which segments rotate around	the center of the win-
	       dow.  Default is	1.

       --redmin, --greenmin, --bluemin,	--redrange, --greenrange, --bluerange
	       All take	an integer argument. When colors are randomly  chosen,
	       they  are  chosen  from the interval min	to min plus range. The
	       minimums	default	to 30000. The ranges default to	20000.

       --delay microseconds
	       How much	of a delay should be introduced	between	steps  of  the
	       animation.  Default is 20000, or	about 5	frames a second.

       --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.
