Number of Point |
Numer of moving points on the screen. It's appropriate regulate it depending on computer's power (throughput). |
Drawing Time |
This represent the interval between moving steps (in milliseconds). It's appropriate regulate it depending on computer's power (throughput). |
Refresh Time |
This represent the interval that the screen saver wait before updating the display. Like previous options it's appropriate regulate it depending on computer's power (throughput). For example if necessary the screen saver can move all points every 25 milliseconds but make visible something on the screen only after 5 seconds. |
History |
It defines the length of past track. If it's equal to “0”no past track will be stored. With value between “1” and “99” every point leave after its passage a lot (max 3000 points) of colored point, afterwards a black point will clear the path. If it's equal to “100” the black point never appears, and the entire old track it's can be visible (until one other point pass over). |
Group |
It's possible to subdivide the points (set with "Number of Point") up to 7 groups, with the possibility to differentiate every group options. With the key "-" and/or "+" it's possible to choose the preferred groups number. Clicking on the group name it's possible to select it (the color become white) and set its various options. |
Kinetics Type |
The movement of the points are regulate through this 13 option (in according with the 3 "Directions") in this mode:
Cycle |
Change the movement type selecting randomicaly one of the other options. |
Random |
Random linear movement. |
Horizontal |
Horizontal linear movement. |
Vertical |
Vertical linear movement. |
Centered Spiral |
It made a spiral movement, on center of the screen , with clockwise and anticlockwise movement in according with "Direction" setting. |
Moving Spiral |
It made a spiral movement where the center change continuosly position. With clockwise and anticlockwise movement in according with "Direction" setting. |
Tunnel |
All the points converge or move away (with linear movement) from the centre of display. |
Comet |
All the points converge or move away (with linear movement) from a moving point. |
Water |
Like "Horizontal" movement but with sinusoidal movement. |
Air |
Like "Vertical" movement but with sinusoidal movement. |
Circle |
All the points are moved drawing some small circles. |
Elipse |
All the points are moved drawing some elipses. |
Square |
All the points are moved drawing a square. |
|
Point's Color |
It define the color of the points. "Cycle" change the color selecting randomicaly one of the other options. "Random" select the color between all the possibility. The other option made the color between black and the selected color. |
Direction |
This 4 options changing the direction of points (in according with "Kinetics Type").
Cycle |
Change the movement direction selecting randomicaly one of the other 3 options. |
Random |
If kinetics is: "Random", "Horizontal", "Vertical", "Water" e "Air" ther is a movement in both directions (let, rigth. up, down). If is: "Spiral", "Circle" or "Elipse" ther is a clockwise and anticlockwise movement. If is: "Tunel" or "Comet" the points converge or move away (with linear movement) from the centre of display. If is: "Square" ther is a movement in all the directions (let, rigth. up, down) |
Positive |
If kinetics is: "Random", "Horizontal" or "Water" the points go on the right. If kinetics is: "Vertical" and "Air" the points go on the top. If is: "Spiral", "Circle" or "Elipse" ther is a clockwise movement. If is: "Tunel" e "Comet" the points converge (with linear movement) to the central point. If is: "Square" ther is a horizontal movement in both the directions let and rigth. |
Negative |
If kinetics is: "Random", "Horizontal", "Square" or "Water" the points go on the left. If kinetics is: "Vertical" or "Air" the points go on the bottom. If is: "Spiral", "Circle" or "Elipse" ther is a anticlockwise movement. If is: "Tunel" e "Comet" the points move away (with linear movement) from the central point. If is: "Square" ther is a vertical movement where the points go on the topo and on the bottom. |
|
Randomize Circle Position |
This option allow to move cyclical the position of central point (if kinetics is: "Spiral", "Tunel" e "Comet"). |
Randomize Circle Position |
This option allow to change cyclical the size of central point (if kinetics is: "Spiral", "Tunel" e "Comet"). |
Brush Like |
Combine some points, in this mode the drawing is like a brush. |
Same Center of Previus Group |
Take the position of central point from previous group. Enabling this option made useless the option "Randomize Circle Position" because come to consider the option of the previous group. |
