DESCRIPTION


The hop program generates real plane fractals as described in the September 1986 issue of Scientific American.

OPTIONS


hopalong accepts the following options:
-window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
-root Draw on the root window.
-mono If on a color display, pretend we’re on a monochrome display.

-ncolors integer
 How many colors should be used (if possible). Default 200. The colors used cycle through the hue, making N stops around the color wheel.
-cycles integer
 How long to run each batch. Default 2500 pixels.
-count integer
 How many pixels should be drawn before a color change. Default 1000.
-jong integer
-no-jong integer
 Whether to use the Jong format (default is to choose randomly.)

-sine integer
-no-sine integer
 Whether to use the Sine format (default is to choose randomly.)

-fps Display the current frame rate and CPU load.

ENVIRONMENT


DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
