 XTOYS
      xtoys - Cellular automaton and wave equation simulators for X.

 SYNOPSIS
      xising
      xpotts
      xautomalab
      xsand
      xfires
      xwaves
      schrodinger

 DESCRIPTION
      xising: implements a simulation of the two dimensional Ising model
      with both local and cluster algorithms.

      xpotts: for the q state Potts with a magnetic field.

      xautomalab: a totalistic cellular automaton simulator.

      xsand: implements the Bak, Tang, Wiesenfeld sandpile model,
      illustrating self-organized criticality.

      xfires: a simple forest fire model of self-organized critiality.

      xwaves: simulates three different wave equations, representing light,
      massive mesons, and water.

      scrodinger: evolves a wave function with the Schrodinger equation.
      The potential can be modified with the mouse.

 OPTIONS
      No command line options are implemented.
