  • DESCRIPTION
      The halo program draws cool patterns based on circles.
  • OPTIONS
      halo 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.
      -count integer
      How many circles to draw.  Default 0, meaning random.
      -mode seuss | ramp | random
      In seuss mode, alternating striped curves will be drawn.
      In ramp mode, a color ramp will be drawn.
      random means pick the mode randomly.
      -delay microseconds
      How much of a delay should be introduced between steps of the animation. Default 100000, or about 0.1 second.
      -colors integer
      How many colors to use.  Default 100.
      -animate
      If specified, then the centerpoints of the circles will bounce around. Otherwise, the circles will be drawn once, erased, and a new set of circles will be drawn.
      -cycle
      -no-cycle
      Whether to do colormap cycling.  Default is to cycle.
      -cycle-delay
      Number of microseconds between shifts of the colormap; default 100000, or 1/10th second.
  • ENVIRONMENT


      DISPLAY
