NAME
     rorschach - simulate ink-blot patterns

SYNOPSIS
     rorschach	[--display  host:display.screen]  [--foreground  color] [--back-
     ground color] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number][--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  psychologi-
     cal 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.

     --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.

     --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 re-
	     sources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.

     XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
	     The window ID to use with --root.

BUGS
     May call your sanity into question.
