This is plasma. It implements "plasma clouds" with X11. It's not very sophisticated ... I just saw jjensen@dsg4.dse.beckman.com (John Jensen)'s post in alt.fractals and coded up his ideas (and used some of his code) with my Xlib skeleton which I use for prototyping graphics ideas. It does colormap cycling, and it lets you mess with a few of the parameters. It definitely works with sparcs under SunOS 4.1.x and 8 bit displays. My skeleton runs on HPs under hpux as well, even with those gnarly 6-bit displays, but I haven't tested it with this program. I don't really have time to "maintain" this thing ... I'm just throwing it out since it's kinda cute. I'll fix bugs as time permits though, and I would like to hear about changes or improvements (like getting it to use the default color map and running on the root window, etc). It is hereby placed in the public domain ... give it away, sell it, whatever. I'd appreciate it if my name was left on it though. Mark Costlow cheeks@edsr.eds.com or ...uunet!edsr!cheeks
