[-poly int] [-gravity] [-no-gravity]
DESCRIPTION
The qix program bounces a series of line segments around its
window. This is truly the swiss army chainsaw of qix pro-
grams. If you know of one with more display modes, I want
to know about it.
OPTIONS
qix 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.
-segments integer
How many line segments should be drawn. Default 50.
-spread integer
How far apart the endpoints of one segment should be
from the next. Default 8.
-size integer
The maximum distance one endpoint of a segment is
allowed to be from the opposite end of that segment.
Default 0, meaning unlimited.
-count integer
How many qixes to draw. Default 1.
-color-shift degrees
If on a color display, the color of the line seg-
ments will cycle through the spectrum. This speci-
fies how far the hue of each segment should be from
the next, in degrees on the HSV wheel. Default 3.
-delay microseconds
How much of a delay should be introduced between
steps of the animation. Default 25000, or about
0.025 seconds.
-random The qix will wander around the screen semi-randomly.
This is the default.
-linear The opposite of -random: the qix will travel in
straight lines until it reaches a wall, and then it
will bounce.
-solid If this is specified, then the area between the line
segments will be filled in with the appropriate
color, instead of the qix simply being composed of
one-pixel-wide line segments. This option looks
really good in color.
-hollow The opposite of -solid; this is the default.
-xor If this is specified, then qix segments will be
drawn and erased with xor, instead of being drawn in
some color and erased in the background color. This
implies -mono, in that only two colors can be used.
-transparent
If this is specified, and -count is greater than 1,
then each qix will be drawn in one color, and when
they overlap, the colors will be mixed. This looks
best in conjuction with -solid.
-non-transparent
Turns off -transparent.
-additive
If -transparent is specified, then this option means
that the colors will be mixed using an additive
color model, as if the qixes were projected light.
This is the default.
-subtractive
If -transparent is specified, then this option means
that the colors will be mixed using a subtractive
color model, as if the qixes were translucent
filters.
-poly int
How many vertices each qix-line should have: the
default is 2, meaning the traditional qix line
shape. Three will yield triangles, and so on.
-gravity
-no-gravity
Whether there should be downward attraction. For
example, the options -gravity -linear will make
everything move in nice smooth parabolas. Gravity
is off by default.
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.
