DESCRIPTION
     The strange program draws strange attractors

OPTIONS
     strange accepts the following options:

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

     --root  Draw on the root window.

     --window-id number
	     Draw on the specified 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.

     --ncolors integer
	     How  many	colors	should be used (if possible).  Default 100.  The
	     colors are chosen randomly.

     --points integer
	     Change the number of points/iterations each frame.   Default  5500.
	     More  than 6000 activates the accumulator, which makes parts of the
	     image brighter or darker depending on how often the attractor  hits
	     each pixel.

     --point-size integer
	     Changes the size of individual points.  Default 1.

     --zoom float
	     Zooms in or out.  Default 0.9.

     --brightness float
	     Adjusts the brightness for accumulator mode.  Default 1.0.

     --motion-blur float
	     Adds motion blur.	Default 3.0, no motion blur is 1.0.

     --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 re-
	     sources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.

     XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
	     The window ID to use with --root.
