NAME
       rorschach - simulate ink-blot patterns

SYNOPSIS
       rorschach   [-display   host:display.screen]  [-foreground
       color]  [-background  color]  [-window]	[-root]	  [-mono]
       [-install] [-visual visual] [-iterations integer] [-offset
       integer] [-xsymmetry] [-ysymmetry]  [-erase-mode	 integer]
       [-erase-speed usecs] [-delay secs]

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.
