| 16 | Kaleidescope - rotating line segments |
|---|

| 18 | .B kaleidescope |

| 19 | [\-display \fIhost:display.screen\fP] [\-foreground \fIcolor\fP] [\-background \fIcolor\fP] [\-window] [\-root] [\-install] [\-visual \fIvisual\fP] [\-color_mode \fImono | nice | greedy\fP] [-nsegments \fIint\fP] [\-ntrails \fIint\fP] [\-local_rotation \fIint\fP] [\-global_rotation \fIint\fP] [\-delay \fIusecs\fP] [\-redmin \fIint\fP] [\-greenmin \fIint\fP] [\-bluemin \fIint\fP] [\-redrange \fIint\fP] [\-greenrange \fIint\fP] [\-bluerange \fIint\fP] |
|---|
| 20 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| 21 | The \fIkaleidescope\fP program draws line segments in a symmetric pattern |
|---|
| 22 | that evolves over time. |
|---|
| 23 | .SH OPTIONS |
|---|
| 24 | .I kaleidescope |
|---|
| 25 | accepts the following options: |
|---|
| 26 | .TP 8 |
|---|
| 27 | .B \-root |
|---|
| 28 | Draw on the root window. |
|---|
| 29 | .TP 8 |
|---|
| 30 | .B \-color_mode "mono | nice | greedy" |
|---|
| 31 | Specify how kaleidescope uses colors. Mono uses |
|---|
| 32 | just the default foreground and background colors. Nice uses one |
|---|
| 33 | color for each segment (specified by nsegments). Greedy uses (ntrails * nsegments) + 1 colors. |
|---|
| 34 | .TP 8 |
|---|
| 35 | .B \-install |
|---|
| 36 | Install a private colormap for the window. |
|---|
| 37 | .TP 8 |
|---|
| 38 | .B \-visual \fIvisual\fP |
|---|
| 39 | Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class, |
|---|
| 40 | or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual. |
|---|
| 41 | .TP 8 |
|---|
| 42 | .B \-nsegments integer |
|---|
| 43 | The number of segments to draw. Default is 7. |
|---|
| 44 | .TP 8 |
|---|
| 45 | .B \-ntrails integer |
|---|
| 46 | The number of trails to draw. Default is 100. |
|---|
| 47 | .TP 8 |
|---|
| 48 | .B \-local_rotation integer |
|---|
| 49 | The rate at which segments rotate around their center. Default is -59. |
|---|
| 50 | .TP 8 |
|---|
| 51 | .B \-global_rotation integer |
|---|
| 52 | The rate at which segments rotate around the center of the window. |
|---|
| 53 | Default is 1. |
|---|
| 54 | .TP 8 |
|---|
| 55 | .B \-redmin, \-greenmin, \-bluemin, \-redrange, \-greenrange, \-bluerange |
|---|
| 56 | All take an integer argument. When colors are randomly chosen, they |
|---|
| 57 | are chosen from the interval min to min plus range. The minimums default |
|---|
| 58 | to 30000. The ranges default to 20000. |
|---|
| 59 | .TP 8 |
|---|
| 60 | .B \-delay microseconds |
|---|
| 61 | How much of a delay should be introduced between steps of the animation. |
|---|
| 62 | Default is 20000, or about 5 frames a second. |
|---|
| 63 | .SH ENVIRONMENT |
|---|
| 64 | .PP |
|---|
| 65 | .TP 8 |
|---|
| 66 | .B DISPLAY |
|---|
| 67 | to get the default host and display number. |
|---|
| 68 | .TP 8 |
|---|
| 69 | .B XENVIRONMENT |
|---|
| 70 | to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources |
|---|
| 71 | stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property. |
