SYNOPSIS
hypnowheel [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number] [--delay int] [--layers int] [--count int] [--twistiness float] [--speed float] [--wander] [--symmetric] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION
Draws a series of overlapping, translucent spiral patterns. The tightness of their spirals fluctuates in and out.

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.

--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.

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.

XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
    The window ID to use with --root.
