Overview
The flame program generates colorful fractal displays.
Options
flame accepts the following options:
-
--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.
-
--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.
-
--colors integer -
How many colors should be used (if possible). Default 64.
-
--iterations integer -
How many fractals to generate. Default 25.
-
--points integer -
How many pixels to draw for each fractal. Default 10000.
-
--delay microseconds -
How long we should wait between drawing each fractal. Default 50000, or about 1/20th second.
-
--delay2 microseconds -
How long we should wait before clearing the screen when each run ends. Default 2000000, or two seconds.
-
--fps -
Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
Environment
-
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.
