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]
       [--initial-cracks numinitial] [--max-cracks nummax] [--sand-grains num-
       grains] [--circle-percent circlepercent]	[--fps]

DESCRIPTION
       Lines  like  crystals grow on a computational substrate.	 A simple per-
       pendicular growth rule creates intricate	city-like structures.  Option-
       ally, 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 wire-
	       frame.

       --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
	       resources stored	in the RESOURCE_MANAGER	property.

       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
	       The window ID to	use with --root.
