NAME

       halo - draw circular interference patterns

SYNOPSIS

       halo  [-display	host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background color] [-window] [-root] [-mono] [-install] [-visual visual] [-delay
       seconds] [-random boolean] [-ncolors int] [-offset int]

DESCRIPTION

       The moire program draws cool circular interference patterns.

OPTIONS

       moire 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.

       -delay seconds
	       How long to wait before starting over.  Default 5 seconds.

       -random boolean
	       Whether to ignore the foreground/background colors, and pick them randomly instead.

       -offset integer
	       The maximum random radius increment to use.

       -ncolors integer
	       How many colors should be allocated in the color ramp (note that this value interacts with offset.)

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.
