NAME
     substrate - Grow crystal-like lines on a computational substrate

SYNOPSIS
     substrate	[--display  host:display.screen]  [--visual  visual]  [--window]
     [--root] [--window-id number]  [--foreground  color]  [--background  color]
     [--wireframe]  [--max-cycles  cyclecount]	[--growth-delay delayms] [--ini-
     tial-cracks numinitial]  [--max-cracks  nummax]  [--sand-grains  numgrains]
     [--circle-percent circlepercent] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION
     Lines like crystals grow on a computational substrate.  A simple perpendic-
     ular  growth  rule  creates  intricate  city-like	structures.  Optionally,
     cracks may also be circular, producing a cityscape more familiar to  places
     for which city planning is a distant, theoretical concern.

OPTIONS
     substrate accepts the following options:

     --wireframe (Default: False)
	     Don't draw sand-painting colored effects, only make a wireframe.

     --max-cycles cyclecount (Default: 10000)
	     Maximum number of growth cycles before restarting.  The higher this
	     is, the more complex the art.

     --growth-delay delayms (Default: 18000)
	     Delay  in	ms  between  growth  cycles.   More  delay,  slower (but
	     smoother and less CPU intensive) art.

     --initial-cracks numinitial (Default: 3)
	     Initial number of cracks in the substrate

     --max-cracks nummax (Default: 100)
	     Maximum number of cracks in the substrate at a single time

     --sand-grains numgrains (Default: 64)
	     Number of sand grains dropped during coloring.  More grains cause a
	     denser colour but use more cpu power.

     --circle-percent circlepercent (Default: 0)
	     The percentage of the cracks will be circular.

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

     --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.

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.
