20 A system of path tracing particles evolves continuously from an initial circular creation.
21 Ages of darkness play arbitrarily with ages of light.

26 accepts the following options:
29 Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
32 Install a private colormap for the window.
35 If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
38 Don't install a private colormap for the window.
41 Draw on the root window.
43 .B \-visual \fIvisual\fP
44 Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual
45 class or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.
48 Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
50 .B \-window\-id \fIwindow\-id\fP
51 Specify which window id to use.
54 Particles have random generated colors that gradually change over time.
57 Use the original black and white visualization.
59 .B \-growth\-delay \fIdelayms\fP (Default: \fI10000\fP)
60 Delay in ms between growth cycles. More delay, slower (but less CPU intensive).
62 .B \-particles\-number \fIparticles\fP (Default: \fI5000\fP)
63 The number of particles in the system. With more particles the fps
66 .B \-ring\-radius \fIradius\fP (Default: \fI40\fP)
67 The radius of the ring where the particles are born, in pixels.
72 to get the default host and display number.
75 to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global
76 resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
