SYNOPSIS
rorschach [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background color] [-window] [-root] [-mono] [-install] [-visual visual] [-iterations integer] [-offset integer] [-xsymmetry] [-ysymmetry] [-erase-speed usecs] [-delay secs] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION
The rorschach program draws random patterns reminiscent of the psychological test of same name.

OPTIONS
rorschach accepts the following options:

-window
    Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.

-root
    Draw on the root window.

-mono
    If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.

-install
    Install a private colormap for the window.

-visual visual
    Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.

-iterations integer
    How many dots should be drawn each time. Default 4000.

-offset integer
    How far apart the dots should be. Default 4 pixels.

-xsymmetry
    Whether the images should be horizontally symmetrical. Default true.

-ysymmetry
    Whether the images should be vertically symmetrical. Default false.

-erase-speed usecs
    This controls the speed at which the screen will be erased. (Delay between erasing of individual lines.)

-delay seconds
    This sets the number of seconds that the figure will be on the screen.

-fps
    Display the current frame rate and CPU load.

ENVIRONMENT

DISPLAY
    to get the default host and display number.

XENVIRONMENT
    to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.

BUGS
May call your sanity into question.
