NAME

       glcells - growing cells graphics hack

SYNOPSIS

       glcells	[-display  host:display.screen]  [-window]  [-root] [-install] [-visual visual] [-delay num] [-pause num] [-maxcells num] [-radius
       num] [-seeds num] [-quality num] [-minfood num] [-maxfood num] [-divideage num] [-mindist num] [-keepold] [-wireframe] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

       The glcells program draws cells that divide exponentially, eat and eventually die.

OPTIONS

       glcells accepts the following options:

       -window Draw on a newly-created window.	This is the default.

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -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.

       -pause num
	       Specifies the pause at the end of the animation (all cells dead or maximum amount of cells reached). Unit is in frames, default 20.

       -maxcells num
	       Specifies the maximum number of cells on screen (dead cells also count, even if invisible). Default is 800.

       -radius num
	       Specifies the radius of the cells. Default is 40.

       -seeds num
	       Specifies the number of cells when animation starts. Default is 1.

       -quality num
	       Specifies subdivision quality of the spheres used to draw the cells [0...5]. Default is 3.

       -minfood num
	       Food is ditributed randomly on the screen (Yes, the cells need to eat). This parameter specifies the minimum  amount  of  food  per
	       pixel. Default is 5.

       -maxfood num
	       Food  is  ditributed  randomly  on the screen (Yes, the cells need to eat). This parameter specifies the maximum amount of food per
	       pixel. Default is 20.

       -divideage num
	       Specifies the minimum age in frames a cell needs to have before beeing able to divide. Default is 20

       -mindist num
	       Specifies the minimum distance between cells. Default 1.4

       -delay num
	       How long to pause between frames.  Default is 20000, or 0.02 second.

       -fps    Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.

       -wireframe
	       Draw wireframe only.

       -keepold
	       Dead cells stay on screen.

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.

NAME

       MetaBalls - draws 2D metaballs

SYNOPSIS

       MetaBalls [-display host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-ncolors number] [-count number] [-delay number] [-cycles num-
       ber] [-radius number] [-delta number] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

       This hack draws 2D metaballs to the screen by calculating the sum of the colors of all metaballs covering a pixel.  Ported  from  the  demo
       effects collection (http://demo-effects.sourceforge.net)

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.

       -ncolors number
	       Number of Colors.  Default: 256.

       -count number
	       Number of MetaBalls.	2 - 255.  Default: 10.

       -delay number
	       Per-frame delay, in microseconds.  Default: 5000 (0.005 seconds.).

       -cycles number
	       Duration.  100 - 3000.  Default: 1000.

       -radius number
	       MetaBall Radius.  2 - 100.  Default: 100.

       -delta number
	       MetaBall Movement.  1 - 20.  Default: 3.

       -fps    Display the current frame rate and CPU load.

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.
