NAME
xspirograph - simulates the rotation of a disk inside a circular rim SYNOPSIS
xspirograph [-display host:display.screen] [-window] [-root] [-install] [-visual visual] [-delay seconds] [-subdelay useconds] [-layers integer] [-alwaysfinish] [-noalwaysfinish] [-fps] DESCRIPTION
xspirograph draws patterns such as those made by a spirograph, that is, the curve traced by a point on a circular disk rotating on the inside of a hollow circular rim. OPTIONS
xspirograph 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. -delay secs The delay between finishing one draw and starting the next. Default: 5 seconds. -subdelay usec The time to delay between each hundred line draws. Use this if you want to see the pattern form. Default: 0. -alwaysfinish -noalwaysfinish If you want each pattern to draw until it is done, specify the first. Otherwise, they will stop after a set number of iterations. Default: no. -layers integer Number of pairs of patterns to draw between each erase. 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

halo - draw circular patterns SYNOPSIS
halo [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background color] [-window] [-root] [-mono] [-install] [-visual visual] [-count int] [-delay usecs] [-mode seuss | ramp | random ] [-animate] [-colors integer] [-fps] DESCRIPTION
The halo program draws cool patterns based on circles. OPTIONS
halo 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 circles to draw. Default 0, meaning random. -mode seuss | ramp | random In seuss mode, alternating striped curves will be drawn. In ramp mode, a color ramp will be drawn. random means pick the mode randomly. -delay microseconds How much of a delay should be introduced between steps of the animation. Default 100000, or about 0.1 second. -colors integer How many colors to use. Default 100. -animate If specified, then the centerpoints of the circles will bounce around. Otherwise, the circles will be drawn once, erased, and a new set of circles will be drawn. -fps Display the current frame rate and CPU load. ENVIRONMENT
