interference - decaying sinusoidal waves

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]

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

-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.

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.
