NAME
       Kaleidescope - rotating line segments

SYNOPSIS
       kaleidescope  [-display	host:display.screen] [-foreground
       color] [-background color]  [-window]  [-root]  [-install]
       [-visual	 visual]  [-color_mode	mono  |	 nice  |  greedy]
       [-nsegments  int]  [-ntrails  int]  [-local_rotation  int]
       [-global_rotation   int]	  [-delay  usecs]  [-redmin  int]
       [-greenmin int] [-bluemin int]  [-redrange  int]	 [-green
       range int] [-bluerange int]

DESCRIPTION
       The  kaleidescope program draws line segments in a symmet
       ric pattern that evolves over time.

OPTIONS
       kaleidescope accepts the following options:

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -color_mode mono | nice | greedy
	       Specify how kaleidescope uses  colors.  Mono  uses
	       just the default foreground and background colors.
	       Nice uses one color for each segment (specified by
	       nsegments).  Greedy uses (ntrails * nsegments) + 1
	       colors.

       -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.

       -nsegments integer
	       The number of segments to draw. Default is 7.

       -ntrails integer
	       The number of trails to draw. Default is 100.

       -local_rotation integer
	       The rate at which  segments  rotate  around  their
	       center. Default is -59.

       -global_rotation integer
	       The  rate at which segments rotate around the cen
	       ter of the window.  Default is 1.

       -redmin,	 -greenmin,  -bluemin,	-redrange,   -greenrange,
       -bluerange
	       All take an integer argument. When colors are ran
	       domly  chosen,  they  are chosen from the interval
	       min to min plus range.  The  minimums  default  to
	       30000. The ranges default to 20000.

       -delay microseconds
	       How  much  of a delay should be introduced between
	       steps of the  animation.	  Default  is  20000,  or
	       about 5 frames a second.

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_MAN
	       AGER property.
