.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fIrorschach\fP program draws random patterns reminiscent of the
psychological test of same name.
.SH OPTIONS
.I rorschach
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

If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
.TP 8
.B \-install
Install a private colormap for the window.

.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 \-iterations \fIinteger\fP
How many dots should be drawn each time.  Default 4000.
.TP 8
.B \-offset \fIinteger\fP
How far apart the dots should be.  Default 4 pixels.
.TP 8
.B \-xsymmetry
Whether the images should be horizontally symmetrical.  Default true.
.TP 8
.B \-ysymmetry
Whether the images should be vertically symmetrical.  Default false.
.TP 8
.B \-erase\-speed \fIusecs\fP
This controls the speed at which the screen will be erased. (Delay between
erasing of individual lines.)
.TP 8
.B \-delay \fIseconds\fP
This sets the number of seconds that the figure will be on the screen.
.TP 8
.B \-fps
Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.PP
.TP 8
.B DISPLAY
to get the default host and display number.
.TP 8
.B XENVIRONMENT
to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources
stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
