NAME
       substrate - Grow crystal-like lines on a computational substrate

SYNOPSIS
       substrate  [-display  host:display.screen]  [-foreground color] [-back‐
       ground  color]  [-wireframe]  [-max-cycles  cyclecount]	[-growth-delay
       delayms]	    [-initial-cracks	numinitial]    [-max-cracks    nummax]
       [-sand-grains numgrains] [-circle-percent circlepercent] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION
       Lines like crystals grow on a computational substrate.  A  simple  per‐
       pendicular growth rule creates intricate city-like structures.  Option‐
       ally, cracks may also be circular, producing a cityscape more  familiar
       to places for which city planning is a distant, theoretical concern.

OPTIONS
       substrate accepts the following options:

       -wireframe (Default: False)
	       Don't  draw  sand-painting  colored  effects, only make a wire‐
	       frame.

       -max-cycles cyclecount (Default: 10000)
	       Maximum number of growth cycles before restarting.  The	higher
	       this is, the more complex the art.

       -growth-delay delayms (Default: 18000)
	       Delay  in  ms  between  growth cycles.  More delay, slower (but
	       smoother and less CPU intensive) art.

       -initial-cracks numinitial (Default: 3)
	       Initial number of cracks in the substrate

       -max-cracks nummax (Default: 100)
	       Maximum number of cracks in the substrate at a single time

       -sand-grains numgrains (Default: 64)
	       Number of sand grains dropped  during  coloring.	  More	grains
	       cause a denser colour but use more cpu power.

       -circle-percent circlepercent (Default: 0)
	       The percentage of the cracks will be circular.

       -fps    Display the current frame rate and CPU load.

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.
