XScreenSaver !!!XScreenSaver NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION OPTIONS ENVIRONMENT SEE ALSO COPYRIGHT AUTHOR ---- !!NAME starfish - radially-symmetric throbbing colormap-hacking graphics demo !!SYNOPSIS __starfish__ [[-display ''host:display.screen''] [[-foreground ''color''] [[-background ''color''] [[-window] [[-root] [[-mono] [[-install] [[-visual ''visual''] [[-delay ''usecs''] [[-delay2 ''secs''] [[-cycle-delay2 ''usecs''] [[-thickness ''pixels''] [[-rotation ''degrees''] [[-duration ''seconds''] [[-colors ''int''] [[-cycle] [[-no-cycle] [[-blob] [[-no-blob] !!DESCRIPTION The ''starfish'' program draws radially symmetric objects, which expand, contract, rotate, and turn inside out. It uses these shapes to lay down a field of smooth colors, and then rotates the colormap. !!OPTIONS ''starfish'' accepts the following options: __-window__ Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default. __-root__ Draw on the root window. __-mono__ If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display. __-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. __-delay__ ''microseconds'' How much of a delay should be introduced between steps of the animation. Default 10000, or about 1/100th second. __-cycle-delay__ ''microseconds'' How long to wait between shifing the colormap by one step. Default 100000, or about 1/10th second. __-thickness__ ''pixels'' How wide each color band should be. Default 0, meaning random (the chosen value will be between 0 and 15.) __-rotation__ ''degrees'' How quickly the objects should rotate at each step. Default 0, meaning random (the chosen value will be between 0 and 12 degrees.) __-colors__ ''int'' How many colors to use. Default 200. The more colors, the smoother the transitions will be, and the nicer the resultant images. __-cycle__ __-no-cycle__ Whether to do colormap cycling. Default true. __-duration__ ''seconds'' How long to run before choosing a new shape. Default 30 seconds. __-delay2__ ''seconds'' When ''duration'' expires, how long to wait before starting a new run. Default 5 seconds. __-blob__ __-no-blob__ If ''blob'' option is specified, then the raw shapes will be shown, instead of a field of colors generated from them. !!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. !!SEE ALSO X(1), xscreensaver(1) !!COPYRIGHT Copyright 1997 by Jamie Zawinski.
