NAME
       lament -	animates the Lament Configuration

SYNOPSIS
       lament [--display host:display.screen] [--window] [--root] [--window-id
       number][--install]  [--visual  visual]  [--delay	 microseconds] [--fps]
       [--texture] [--no-texture] [--wireframe]

DESCRIPTION
       The lament program draws	an animation of	a particular  puzzle  box  re-
       peatedly	solving	itself.

OPTIONS
       lament 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.

       --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.

       --texture
	       Use texture maps.  This is the default.

       --no-texture
	       Do not use texture maps.	 This is boring	and wrong.

       --wireframe
	       Only draw outlines.

       --delay microseconds
	       How  long  to  pause between frames.  Default is	20000, or 0.02
	       second.

       --fps   Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.

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.

       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
	       The window ID to	use with --root.

BUGS
       This  hack  is glacially	slow on	machines lacking hardware texture sup-
       port.

       Occasionally opens doors, admitting theologians of  the	Order  of  the
       Gash.
