  20        The  _\bq_\bi_\bx  program bounces a series of line segments around
  21        its window.  This is truly the swiss army chainsaw of  qix
  22        programs.   If  you know of one with more display modes, I
  23        want to know about it.

  26        _\bq_\bi_\bx accepts the following options:
  27
  28        -\b-w\bwi\bin\bnd\bdo\bow\bw Draw on  a  newly-created  window.   This  is  the
  29                default.
  30
  31        -\b-r\bro\boo\bot\bt   Draw on the root window.
  32
  33        -\b-m\bmo\bon\bno\bo   If   on  a  color  display,  pretend  we're  on  a
  34                monochrome display.
  35
  36        -\b-i\bin\bns\bst\bta\bal\bll\bl
  37                Install a private colormap for the window.
  38
  39        -\b-v\bvi\bis\bsu\bua\bal\bl _\bv_\bi_\bs_\bu_\ba_\bl
  40                Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the
  41                name  of a visual class, or the id number (decimal
  42                or hex) of a specific visual.
  43
  44        -\b-s\bse\beg\bgm\bme\ben\bnt\bts\bs _\bi_\bn_\bt_\be_\bg_\be_\br
  45                How many line segments should be  drawn.   Default
  46                50.
  47
  48        -\b-s\bsp\bpr\bre\bea\bad\bd _\bi_\bn_\bt_\be_\bg_\be_\br
  49                How  far apart the endpoints of one segment should
  50                be from the next.  Default 8.
  51
  52        -\b-s\bsi\biz\bze\be _\bi_\bn_\bt_\be_\bg_\be_\br
  53                The maximum distance one endpoint of a segment  is
  54                allowed  to  be from the opposite end of that seg-
  55                ment.  Default 0, meaning unlimited.
  56
  57        -\b-c\bco\bou\bun\bnt\bt _\bi_\bn_\bt_\be_\bg_\be_\br
  58                How many qixes to draw.  Default 1.

  74                If on a color display, the color of the line  seg-
  75                ments will cycle through the spectrum.  This spec-
  76                ifies how far the hue of each  segment  should  be
  77                from  the  next,  in  degrees  on  the  HSV wheel.
  78                Default 3.
  79
  80        -\b-d\bde\bel\bla\bay\by _\bm_\bi_\bc_\br_\bo_\bs_\be_\bc_\bo_\bn_\bd_\bs
  81                How much of a delay should be  introduced  between
  82                steps  of  the animation.  Default 25000, or about
  83                0.025 seconds.
  84
  85        -\b-r\bra\ban\bnd\bdo\bom\bm The _\bq_\bi_\bx will wander around  the  screen  semi-ran-
  86                domly.  This is the default.
  87
  88        -\b-l\bli\bin\bne\bea\bar\br The  opposite  of  _\b-_\br_\ba_\bn_\bd_\bo_\bm: the _\bq_\bi_\bx will travel in
  89                straight lines until it reaches a wall,  and  then
  90                it will bounce.
  91
  92        -\b-s\bso\bol\bli\bid\bd  If  this  is  specified, then the area between the
  93                line segments will be filled in with the appropri-
  94                ate  color,  instead  of the _\bq_\bi_\bx simply being com-
  95                posed  of  one-pixel-wide  line  segments.    This
  96                option looks really good in color.
  97
  98        -\b-h\bho\bol\bll\blo\bow\bw The opposite of _\b-_\bs_\bo_\bl_\bi_\bd; this is the default.
  99
 100        -\b-x\bxo\bor\br    If  this  is  specified, then qix segments will be
 101                drawn and erased with xor, instead of being  drawn
 102                in  some color and erased in the background color.
 103                This implies _\b-_\bm_\bo_\bn_\bo, in that only two colors can be
 104                used.
 105
 106        -\b-t\btr\bra\ban\bns\bsp\bpa\bar\bre\ben\bnt\bt
 107                If  this  is specified, and _\b-_\bc_\bo_\bu_\bn_\bt is greater than
 108                1, then each qix will be drawn in one  color,  and
 109                when they overlap, the colors will be mixed.  This
 110                looks best in conjuction with _\b-_\bs_\bo_\bl_\bi_\bd.
 111
 112        -\b-n\bno\bon\bn-\b-t\btr\bra\ban\bns\bsp\bpa\bar\bre\ben\bnt\bt
 113                Turns off _\b-_\bt_\br_\ba_\bn_\bs_\bp_\ba_\br_\be_\bn_\bt.
 114
 115        -\b-a\bad\bdd\bdi\bit\bti\biv\bve\be
 116                If _\b-_\bt_\br_\ba_\bn_\bs_\bp_\ba_\br_\be_\bn_\bt is  specified,  then  this  option
 117                means that the colors will be mixed using an addi-
 118                tive color model, as if the qixes  were  projected
 119                light.  This is the default.
 120
 121        -\b-s\bsu\bub\bbt\btr\bra\bac\bct\bti\biv\bve\be
 122                If  _\b-_\bt_\br_\ba_\bn_\bs_\bp_\ba_\br_\be_\bn_\bt  is  specified,  then this option
 123                means that the colors will be mixed using  a  sub-
 124                tractive   color  model,  as  if  the  qixes  were
 125                translucent filters.

 140                How many vertices each qix-line should  have:  the
 141                default  is  2,  meaning  the traditional qix line
 142                shape.  Three will yield triangles, and so on.

 148                example,  the  options  -\b-g\bgr\bra\bav\bvi\bit\bty\by -\b-l\bli\bin\bne\bea\bar\br will make
