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

XXXXSSSSccccrrrreeeeeeeennnnSSSSaaaavvvveeeerrrr((((1111)))) XXXX VVVVeeeerrrrssssiiiioooonnnn 11111111 ((((9999----ddddeeeecccc----99992222)))) XXXXSSSSccccrrrreeeeeeeennnnSSSSaaaavvvveeeerrrr((((1111))))
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.
