.SH OPTIONS
.I binaryring
accepts the following options:
.TP 8
.B \-fps
Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
.TP 8
.B \-install
Install a private colormap for the window.
.TP 8
.B \-mono
If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
.TP 8
.B \-noinstall
Don't install a private colormap for the window.
.TP 8
.B \-root
Draw on the root window.
.TP 8
.B \-visual \fIvisual\fP
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.
.TP 8
.B \-window
Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
.TP 8
.B \-window\-id \fIwindow\-id\fP
Specify which window id to use.
.TP 8
.B \-color (Default)
Particles have random generated colors that gradually change over time.
.TP 8
.B \-no\-color
Use the original black and white visualization.
.TP 8
.B \-growth\-delay \fIdelayms\fP (Default: \fI10000\fP)
Delay in ms between growth cycles. More delay, slower (but less CPU intensive).
.TP 8
.B \-particles\-number \fIparticles\fP (Default: \fI5000\fP)
The number of particles in the system. With more particles the fps
can also be affected.
.TP 8
.B \-ring\-radius \fIradius\fP (Default: \fI40\fP)
The radius of the ring where the particles are born, in pixels.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.PP
.TP 8
.B DISPLAY
to get the default host and display number.
.TP 8
.B XENVIRONMENT
to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global
resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
