Draws a series of overlapping, translucent spiral patterns. The
tightness of their spirals fluctuates in and out.
- --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.
- --window-id number
- Draw on the specified window.
- --delay
int
- Delay between frames, in microseconds. Default 20000.
- --layers
int
- How many different spirals to draw at once. Default 4.
- --count
int
- How many arms each spiral should have. Default 11.
- --twistiness
float
- How tightly wound the spirals can become, measured in rotations. Default
4.0 (four times around).
- --speed
ratio
- Less than 1 for slower, greater than 1 for faster. Default 1.
- --wander
- If specified, then the centers of the spirals will wander around, rather
than them all having the same origin.
- --symmetric
- If specified, then each pair of left-wrapping and right-wrapping spirals
will be mirror images of each other.
- --fps
- Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
- 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.
- XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
- The window ID to use with --root.
