Tarbell at http://complexification.net +.SH OPTIONS +.I binaryring +accepts the following options: +.TP 8 +.B \-fps +Display the current frame rate and CPU load. +.TP 8 +.B \-install +Install a private colormap for the window. +.TP 8 +.B \-mono +If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display. +.TP 8 +.B \-noinstall +Don't install a private colormap for the window. +.TP 8 +.B \-root +Draw on the root window. +.TP 8 +.B \-visual \fIvisual\fP +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. +.TP 8 +.B \-window +Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default. +.TP 8 +.B \-window\-id \fIwindow\-id\fP +Specify which window id to use. +.TP 8 +.B \-color (Default) +Particles have random generated colors that gradually change over time. +.TP 8 +.B \-no\-color +Use the original black and white visualization. +.TP 8 +.B \-growth\-delay \fIdelayms\fP (Default: \fI10000\fP) +Delay in ms between growth cycles. More delay, slower (but less CPU intensive). +.TP 8 +.B \-particles\-number \fIparticles\fP (Default: \fI5000\fP) +The number of particles in the system. With more particles the fps +can also be affected. +.TP 8 +.B \-ring\-radius \fIradius\fP (Default: \fI40\fP) +The radius of the ring where the particles are born, in pixels. +.SH ENVIRONMENT +.PP +.TP 8 +.B DISPLAY +to get the default host and display number. +.TP 8 +.B XENVIRONMENT +to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global +resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR X (1), +.BR xscreensaver (1) +.SH COPYRIGHT +Copyright \(co 2003 by J.
