+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fIdistort\fP program takes an image and lets circular zones of
+distortion wander randomly around it, distorting what is under them.
+The mode of distortion and the overall behaviour of the zones can be
+influenced in various ways.
+
+The image that it manipulates will be grabbed from the portion of
+the screen underlying the window, or from the system's video input,
+or from a random file on disk, as indicated by
+the \fIgrabDesktopImages\fP, \fIgrabVideoFrames\fP,
+and \fIchooseRandomImages\fP options in the \fI~/.xscreensaver\fP
+file; see
+.BR xscreensaver-demo (1)
+for more details.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.I distort
+accepts the following options:
+.TP 8
+.B \-root
+Draw on the root window.
+.TP 8
+.B \-window
+Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
+.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 \-noinstall
+Don't 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 \-window\-id \fIwindow\-id\fP
+Specify which window id to use.
+.TP 8
+.B \-delay \fIusecs\fP
+Specify the delay between subsequent animation frames in microseconds.
+.TP 8
+.B \-duration \fIseconds\fP
+How long to run before loading a new image. Default 120 seconds.
+.TP 8
+.B \-radius \fIpixels\fP
+Specify the radius of the distortion zone in pixels.
+.TP 8
+.B \-speed \fIint\fP
+Specify the speed at which the distortion zone moves, where 0 is slow,
+higher numbers are faster (10 is pretty fast.)
+.TP 8
+.B \-number \fIint\fP
+Specify the number of distortion zones.
+.TP 8
+.B \-swamp
+Instead of letting zones wander around, let small zones pop up like
+bubbles in a swamp and leave permanent distortion. \fBWARNING:\fP
+this option uses a \fIcolossal\fP amount of memory: keep the \fI\-radius\fP
+small when using \fI\-swamp\fP.
+.TP 8
+.B \-bounce
+Let zones wander around and bounce off the window border. This is the
+default.
+.TP 8
+.B \-reflect
+Mode of distortion that resembles reflection by a cylindrical mirror.
+.TP 8
+.B \-vortex
+Whirlpool-shaped distortion. Way cool.
+.TP 8
+.B \-magnify
+This mode of distortion looks like a magnifying glass.
+.TP 8
+.B \-blackhole
+Suck your pixels beyond the event horizon. Favourite mode of Dr
+Stephen Hawking.
+.TP 8
+.B \-slow
+Make the zone wander slower.
+.TP 8
+.B \-shm
+Use shared memory extension.
+.TP 8
+.B \-no\-shm
+Don't use shared memory extension.
+.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.
