interference(6)

NAME
interference - decaying sinusoidal waves

SYNOPSIS
interference [-display host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-count number] [-gridsize number] [-delay number] [-speed number] [-radius number] [-ncolors number] [-color-shift number] [-hue number] [-no-db] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION
Another color-field hack, this one works by computing decaying sinusoidal waves, and allowing them to interfere with each other as their origins move.

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.

-count number
    Number of Waves. 0 - 20. Default: 3.

-gridsize number
    Magnification.    1 - 20.  Default: 4.

-delay number
    Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 30000 (0.03 seconds.).

-speed number
    Wave Speed. 1 - 100. Default: 30.

-radius number
    Wave Size.  50 - 1500.    Default: 800.

-ncolors number
    Number of Colors. Default: 128.

-color-shift number
    Color Contrast. 0 - 100. Default: 60.

-hue number
    Hue of the base color (0-360, as in HSV space.) Default 0, meaning random.

-db | -no-db
    Whether to double buffer.

-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.
