NAME
imsmap - generate fractal maps
SYNOPSIS
imsmap [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background color] [-window] [-root] [-mono] [-install] [-visual visual] [-ncolors int] [-delay seconds] [-delay2 microseconds] [-iterations int] [-mode h|s|v|random] [-fps]
DESCRIPTION
The imsmap program generates map or cloud-like patterns. It looks
quite different in monochrome and color.
OPTIONS
imsmap accepts the following options:
-window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
-root Draw on the root window.

- -ncolors integer
- How many colors to use. Default 50.
- -delay integer
- How long to delay between images. Default 10 seconds.
- -delay2 integer
- How long to delay between bitmaps. Default 200000 (0.2 seconds).
- -iterations integer
- A measure of the resolution of the resultant image, from 0 to 7. Default 7.
- -mode [ hue | saturation | value | random ] The axis upon which colors should be interpolated between the foreground and background color. Default random.
- -fps Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
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_MANAGER property.
