The \fIglmatrix\fP program draws dropping characters similar to what
16
is seen in the title sequence of the Wachowski brothers' film,
21
for a 2D rendering of the similar effect that appeared on the
22
computer monitors actually \fIin\fP the movie.
25
accepts the following options:
28
Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
31
Draw on the root window.
34
Install a private colormap for the window.
36
.B \-visual \fIvisual\fP\fP
37
Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class,
38
or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.
40
.B \-delay \fIusecs\fP
41
The delay between frames of the animation, in microseconds: default 30000.
43
.B \-speed \fIratio\fP
44
How fast the glyphs should move; default 1.0. 2.0 means twice as fast,
45
0.5 means half as fast.
47
.B \-density \fIpercentage\fP
48
The approximate percentage of the screen that should be filled with
49
characters at any given time. Default 20%.
52
By default, glyphs are dimmer the farther away they are. This
53
argument disables that.
56
By default, waves of color roll down the columns of glyphs. This
57
argument disables that.
60
Instead of displaying Matrix glyphs, only display ones and zeros.
63
Instead of displaying Matrix glyphs, display hexadecimal digits.
66
Instead of displaying Matrix glyphs, display genetic code
67
(guanine, adenine, thymine, and cytosine.)
70
Display a running tally of how many frames per second are being rendered.
71
In conjunction with \fB\-delay 0\fP, this can be a useful benchmark of
77
to get the default host and display number.
80
to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources
81
stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
