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

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-mode integer
    This sets the erase mode. Mode -1 chooses a random mode each time. There are currently 6 modes defined (0-5).

-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.

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.
