- The _q_i_x program bounces a series of line segments around its
- window. This is truly the swiss army chainsaw of qix
- programs. If you know of one with more display modes, I
- want to know about it.
-
- OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
- _q_i_x accepts the following options:
-
- ----wwwwiiiinnnnddddoooowwww Draw on a newly-created window. This is the
- default.
-
- ----rrrrooooooootttt Draw on the root window.
-
- ----mmmmoooonnnnoooo If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome
- display.
-
- ----iiiinnnnssssttttaaaallllllll
- Install a private colormap for the window.
-
- ----vvvviiiissssuuuuaaaallll _v_i_s_u_a_l
- 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.
-
- ----sssseeeeggggmmmmeeeennnnttttssss _i_n_t_e_g_e_r
- How many line segments should be drawn. Default 50.
-
- ----sssspppprrrreeeeaaaadddd _i_n_t_e_g_e_r
- How far apart the endpoints of one segment should be
- from the next. Default 8.
-
- ----ssssiiiizzzzeeee _i_n_t_e_g_e_r
- The maximum distance one endpoint of a segment is
- allowed to be from the opposite end of that segment.
- Default 0, meaning unlimited.
-
- ----ccccoooouuuunnnntttt _i_n_t_e_g_e_r
- How many qixes to draw. Default 1.
-
- ----ccccoooolllloooorrrr----sssshhhhiiiifffftttt _d_e_g_r_e_e_s

-
-
- If on a color display, the color of the line
- segments will cycle through the spectrum. This
- specifies how far the hue of each segment should be
- from the next, in degrees on the HSV wheel. Default
- 3.
-
- ----ddddeeeellllaaaayyyy _m_i_c_r_o_s_e_c_o_n_d_s
- How much of a delay should be introduced between
- steps of the animation. Default 25000, or about
- 0.025 seconds.
-
- ----rrrraaaannnnddddoooommmm The _q_i_x will wander around the screen semi-randomly.
- This is the default.
-
- ----lllliiiinnnneeeeaaaarrrr The opposite of -_r_a_n_d_o_m: the _q_i_x will travel in
- straight lines until it reaches a wall, and then it
- will bounce.
-
- ----ssssoooolllliiiidddd If this is specified, then the area between the line
- segments will be filled in with the appropriate
- color, instead of the _q_i_x simply being composed of
- one-pixel-wide line segments. This option looks
- really good in color.
-
- ----hhhhoooolllllllloooowwww The opposite of -_s_o_l_i_d; this is the default.
-
- ----xxxxoooorrrr 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 -_m_o_n_o, in that only two colors can be used.
-
- ----ttttrrrraaaannnnssssppppaaaarrrreeeennnntttt
- If this is specified, and -_c_o_u_n_t is greater than 1,
- then each qix will be drawn in one color, and when
- they overlap, the colors will be mixed. This only
- works on PPPPsssseeeeuuuuddddooooCCCCoooolllloooorrrr displays. This looks best in
- conjuction with -_s_o_l_i_d.
-
- ----nnnnoooonnnn----ttttrrrraaaannnnssssppppaaaarrrreeeennnntttt
- Turns off -_t_r_a_n_s_p_a_r_e_n_t.
-
- ----aaaaddddddddiiiittttiiiivvvveeee
- If -_t_r_a_n_s_p_a_r_e_n_t 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.
-
- ----ssssuuuubbbbttttrrrraaaaccccttttiiiivvvveeee
- If -_t_r_a_n_s_p_a_r_e_n_t is specified, then this option means
- that the colors will be mixed using a subtractive
- color model, as if the qixes were translucent
- filters.
