ifs — draws spinning, colliding iterated-function-system images
Synopsis
ifs [-display host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-no-db] [-delay number] [-detail number] [-colors number] [-functions number] [-iterate | -recurse] [-no-rotate] [-no-scale] [-no-translate] [-fps]Description
The ifs program draws spinning, colliding iterated-function-system images.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.
- -no-db
- Disable double-buffering.
- -delay number
- Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 20000
- -colors number
- Number of colours to use. Default: 200
- -detail number
- In -iterate mode, number of times to randomly iterate the functions, in thousands. In -recurse mode, number of times to apply functions (recursion depth) before drawing each point. Default: 9
- -functions number
- Number of functions to be iterated. Default: 3
- -iterate
- Calculate by iteratively applying the functions in a random order, usually faster than -recurse. This is the default.
- -recurse
- Calculate by recursively applying all combinations of the functions. This is the historical behavior and may produce neater output than -iterate.
- -no-rotate
- Disable the rotation component of the functions.
- -no-scale
- Disable the scaling component of the functions.
- -no-translate
- Disable the varying translation component of the functions.
- -no-multi
- Turn off multi-coloured mode, only one colour is used to colour the whole set.
- -fps
- Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
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.
