Explanation of parameters

IMAGENAME

filename of a background image to use [default: none]

SINE_MULT

Integer number of sine cycles in each (SINE_RESOL) width [default: 6]

SINE_RESOL

How many pixels a complete (2*pi) sine cycle covers. Determines the granularity of the computed sine wave as well as the default width. [default: 720]

SINE_INCR

Number of pixels between each drawn vertical line on the sine wave. [default: 6]

PHASE_INC

Number of pixels to move the sine wave between frames (NOTE: PHASE_INC must be less than SINE_MULT due to some unique code) [default: 3]

SLEEP_PERIOD

Milliseconds to sleep between each drawn animation frame. [default: 50]
