+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fIkaleidescope\fP program draws line segments in a symmetric pattern
+that evolves over time.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.I kaleidescope
+accepts the following options:
+.TP 8
+.B \-root
+Draw on the root window.
+.TP 8
+.B \-color_mode "mono | nice | greedy"
+Specify how kaleidescope uses colors. Mono uses
+just the default foreground and background colors. Nice uses one
+color for each segment (specified by nsegments). Greedy uses (ntrails * nsegments) + 1 colors.
+.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 \-nsegments integer
+The number of segments to draw. Default is 7.
+.TP 8
+.B \-ntrails integer
+The number of trails to draw. Default is 100.
+.TP 8
+.B \-local_rotation integer
+The rate at which segments rotate around their center. Default is -59.
+.TP 8
+.B \-global_rotation integer
+The rate at which segments rotate around the center of the window.
+Default is 1.
+.TP 8
+.B \-redmin, \-greenmin, \-bluemin, \-redrange, \-greenrange, \-bluerange
+All take an integer argument. When colors are randomly chosen, they
+are chosen from the interval min to min plus range. The minimums default
+to 30000. The ranges default to 20000.
+.TP 8
+.B \-delay microseconds
+How much of a delay should be introduced between steps of the animation.
+Default is 20000, or about 5 frames a second.
+.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.
