DESCRIPTION

The rorschach program draws random patterns reminiscent of the psychological 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 pix
els.

-xsymmetry

Whether the images should be horizontally symmet
rical. Default true.

-ysymmetry

Whether the images should be vertically symmetri
cal. Default false.

-erase-mode integer

This sets the erase mode. Mode -1 chooses a random
mode each time. There are currently 6 modes
defined (0-5).

-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.

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_MAN
AGER property.

BUGS

May call your sanity into question.
