Not sure about the size of the intersection of xfroot & perl users, but thought I'd post here in case it's greater than one;-) |Xmartin is an X11 root window decorator based on the Barry Martin hopalong |algorithms (see A. K. Dewdney's column in the 9/86 Scientific American.) |Available on uxc.cso.uiuc.edu in pub/xfroot/xmartin.shar or by email request |to ejk@ux2.cso.uiuc.edu. | |Xmartin adds these features to those in its xfroot predecessor: | | o new patterns with three variations on the original Martin hopalong | o option for tiling effects and/or speed | o option for effects by periodically perturbing (x,y) | o random color sequences and tailorable resources for colors | o ranges for hopalong parameters | o zoom and pan options | o option to recall and alter previous hopalong parameters >>| o optional Perl xmartin+ tailors probabilities, replays interesting >>| patterns | |---------------------------------- |Ed Kubaitis (ejk@ux2.cso.uiuc.edu) |Computing Services Office - University of Illinois, Urbana
