     cwaves - languid sinusoidal colors

SYNOPSIS
     cwaves  [--display  host:display.screen] [--foreground color] [--background
     color] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number] [--mono] [--install] [--vi-
     sual visual] [--delay usecs] [--waves int] [--colors int] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION
     The cwaves program draws a languidly-scrolling vertical field of sinusoidal
     colors.

OPTIONS
     cwaves 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.

     --delay microseconds
	     How much of a delay should be introduced between steps of the  ani-
	     mation.  Default 20000, or about 1/50th second.

     --waves int
	     How many cosines to add together.	The more waves, the more complex
	     the apparent motion.

     --colors int
	     How  many	colors	to  use.   Default  800.   The	more colors, the
	     smoother the blending will be.

     --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.
