💖 NAME 💖

Hiii bestie! Welcome to fadeplot(6x) from the XScreenSaver manual. fadeplot — draws a waving ribbon following a sinusoidal path. That's the whole plot, literally. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Okay so here's the invocation, exactly as it comes:

fadeplot [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number] [--count number] [--cycles number] [--delay number] [--ncolors number] [--fps]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Draws what looks like a waving ribbon following a sinusoidal path. It's giving math-class ribbon realness, and honestly? Obsessed. ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --visual visual — 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.
• --window — Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
• --root — Draw on the root window.
• --window-id number — Draw on the specified window.
• --count number — Count. 0 - 20. Default: 10.
• --cycles number — How many frames until the shape changes. Default: 1500.
• --delay number — Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 30000 (0.03 seconds.).
• --ncolors number — Number of colors. Default: 64.
• --fps — Display the current frame rate and CPU load.

Also, --display host:display.screen is in the synopsis; the original page doesn't give it a separate OPTIONS blurb, so I'm not inventing extra lore. 🫶

🌸 ENVIRONMENT 🌸

• DISPLAY — to get the default host and display number.
• XENVIRONMENT — to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
• XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW — The window ID to use with --root.
