DESCRIPTION
The flag program draws a waving flag that contains text or
a bitmap.
OPTIONSflag 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

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.
-ncolors integer
How many colors should be used (if possible).
Default 200.
-cycles integer
-count integer
-size integer
How large the pixels in the flag should be, from 1
to 8. If this is a negative number, the pixel
size is chosen randomly from the range 1 to -size.
Default -7.
-text text
The text to display in the flag. Multiple lines
of text are allowed; the lines will be displayed
centered atop one another. Default: none. If the
text is the magic string "(default)", then the
text used will be the local machine name; a new
line; and the local OS version.
-bitmap xbm-file
The bitmap to display in the flag; this must be an
XBM file (color XPMs are not allowed.) Default:
none. If the bitmap is the magic string
"(default)", then the bitmap used will be a charm
ing little picture of J. R. "Bob" Dobbs.
If neither -text nor -bitmap are specified, then
either the builtin text or the builtin bitmap will
be chosen randomly.

The font in which to draw the text; the default is
"-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-240-*".
