.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fIflag\fP program draws a waving flag that contains text or a bitmap.
.SH OPTIONS
.I flag
accepts the following options:
.TP 8
.B \-window
Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
.TP 8
.B \-root
Draw on the root window.
.TP 8
.B \-mono
If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
.TP 8
.B \-install
Install a private colormap for the window.
.TP 8
.B \-visual \fIvisual\fP
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.
.TP 8
.B \-ncolors \fIinteger\fP
How many colors should be used (if possible). Default 200.
.TP 8
.B \-cycles \fIinteger\fP
.TP 8
.B \-count \fIinteger\fP
.TP 8
.B \-size \fIinteger\fP
How large the pixels in the flag should be, from 1 to 8.
If this is a negative number, the pixel size is chosen randomly
from the range 1 to -size. Default -7.
.TP 8
.B \-text \fItext\fP
The text to display in the flag. Multiple lines of text are allowed;
the lines will be displayed centered atop one another. Default: none.
If the text is the magic string \fI"(default)"\fP, then the text used
will be the local machine name; a newline; and the local OS version.
.TP 8
.B \-bitmap \fIxbm-file\fP
The bitmap to display in the flag; this must be an XBM file (color XPMs
are not allowed.) Default: none. If the bitmap is the magic
string \fI"(default)"\fP, then the bitmap used will be a charming
little picture of J. R. "Bob" Dobbs.
If neither \fI\-text\fP nor \fI\-bitmap\fP are specified, then either
the builtin text or the builtin bitmap will be chosen randomly.
.TP 8
.B \-font \fIfont\fP
The font in which to draw the text; the default is
"-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-240-*".
.TP 8
.B \-fps
Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
