Overview
Draws a series of overlapping, translucent spiral patterns. The tightness of their spirals fluctuates in and out.
Options
-
--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.
-
--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.
-
--delay int -
Delay between frames, in microseconds. Default 20000.
-
--layers int -
How many different spirals to draw at once. Default 4.
-
--count int -
How many arms each spiral should have. Default 11.
-
--twistiness float -
How tightly wound the spirals can become, measured in rotations. Default 4.0 (four times around).
-
--speed ratio -
Less than 1 for slower, greater than 1 for faster. Default 1.
-
--wander -
If specified, then the centers of the spirals will wander around, rather than them all having the same origin.
-
--symmetric -
If specified, then each pair of left-wrapping and right-wrapping spirals will be mirror images of each other.
-
--fps -
Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
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.
