SYNOPSIS
       squiral	[--display  host:display.screen] [--foreground color] [--back-
       ground color] [--window]	[--root] [--window-id  number][--mono]	[--in-
       stall]  [--noinstall]  [--visual	visual]	[--fill	percent] [--count num-
       ber] [--scale number] [--delay usec] [--disorder	 fraction]  [--handed-

DESCRIPTION
       The squiral program displays interacting, spiral-producing automata

OPTIONS
       squiral 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.

       --fill percent
	       Specify	the percent (0-100) of the screen which	must be	filled
	       before the screen is cleared.  60-80 percent are	good values.

       --count number
	       The number of squiralies.  By default, the screen width divided
	       by 32.

       --scale number
	       Line thickness.

       --delay usec
	       The wait	between	steps.	The default is 1000.

       --disorder fraction
	       The fraction of the time	a squiraly will	choose	a  new	direc-
	       tion.  The default is 0.005.

       --handedness fraction
	       The  fraction of	the time a squiraly will choose	to enter left-
	       handed mode.  0.0 means exclusively right-handed	behavior,  0.5
	       (the  default)  is a balance between the	two, and 1.0 is	exclu-
	       sively left-handed behaviour.

       --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
	       resources stored	in the RESOURCE_MANAGER	property.

       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
	       The window ID to	use with --root.

BUGS
       None known
