Kaleidescpe(1)						      General Commands Manual						    Kaleidescpe(1)

NAME

       Kaleidescope - rotating line segments

SYNOPSIS

       kaleidescope  [-display	host:display.screen]  [-foreground  color]  [-background  color]  [-window]  [-root]  [-install]  [-visual visual]
       [-color_mode mono | nice | greedy] [-nsegments int] [-ntrails int] [-local_rotation int] [-global_rotation  int]  [-delay  usecs]  [-redmin
       int] [-greenmin int] [-bluemin int] [-redrange int] [-greenrange int] [-bluerange int]

DESCRIPTION

       The kaleidescope program draws line segments in a symmetric pattern that evolves over time.

OPTIONS

       kaleidescope accepts the following options:

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -color_mode mono | nice | greedy
	       Specify	how  kaleidescope  uses  colors. Mono uses just the default foreground and background colors. Nice uses one color for each
	       segment (specified by nsegments). Greedy uses (ntrails * nsegments) + 1	colors.

       -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.

       -nsegments integer
	       The number of segments to draw. Default is 7.

       -ntrails integer
	       The number of trails to draw. Default is 100.

       -local_rotation integer
	       The rate at which segments rotate around their center. Default is -59.

       -global_rotation integer
	       The rate at which segments rotate around the center of the window.  Default is 1.

       -redmin, -greenmin, -bluemin, -redrange, -greenrange, -bluerange
	       All take an integer argument. When colors are randomly chosen, they are chosen from the interval min to min plus range.	The  mini-
	       mums default to 30000. The ranges default to 20000.

       -delay microseconds
	       How much of a delay should be introduced between steps of the animation.  Default is 20000, or about 5 frames a second.

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.
