🦋 NAME 🦋

okay so bestie, this is noof(6x), from the XScreenSaver manual. And noof? It's here to draw rotatey patterns. That's the whole assignment. Iconic. ✨

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

noof [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window]
[--root] [--window-id number] [--delay number] [--fps]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

It draws some rotatey patterns, using OpenGL. Literally, that's the description. The patterns rotate, OpenGL does its thing, and you just sit there looking at it like 👑.

🎀 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. So yes, class name or decimal/hex id, bestie.
  • --window — draw on a newly-created window. This is the default, so if you don't ask for anything else, this is what you get.
  • --root — draw on the root window. Root window main character energy.
  • --window-id number — draw on the specified window. You hand it the window ID, it draws there.
  • --delay number — per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 10000 (that's 0.01 seconds.). So yeah, tiny little waits between frames.
  • --fps — display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count. Numbers on screen, slay.

🌸 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.
