       ground color] [-window] [-root]  [-mono]  [-install]  [-visual  visual]

       [-erase-speed usecs] [-delay secs] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION
       The rorschach program draws random patterns reminiscent of the  psycho-
       logical 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.

       -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
               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.

BUGS
       May call your sanity into question.
