repeatedly solving itself.

- -root
-
Draw on the root window.
- -install

Install a private colormap for the window.

or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.
- -texture
-
Use texture maps. This is the default.
- -no-texture
-
Do not use texture maps. This is boring and wrong.

-
Only draw outlines.
- -delay microseconds
-
How long to pause between frames. Default is 20000, or 0.02 second.
- -fps
-
Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
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.
BUGS
This hack is glacially slow on machines lacking hardware texture support.
Occasionally opens doors, admitting theologians of the Order of the Gash.
