Draw real plane fractals

Usage

hopalong [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background color] [-window] [-root] [-mono] [-install] [-visual visual] [-count integer] [-ncolors integer] [-timeout seconds] [-delay microseconds]

Overview

The hopalong program generates real plane fractals as described in the September 1986 issue of Scientific American.

Options

hopalong 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.

-count integer

How many pixels should be drawn before a color change. Default 1000.

-ncolors integer

How many colors should be used (if possible). Default 100. The colors used cycle through the hue, making N stops around the color wheel.

-timeout seconds

How many seconds we should generate for before clearing the screen and starting over. Default 20.

-delay microseconds

How long we should wait between drawing each pixel. Default 0.

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.
