NAME
       squiral - square spirals screensaver


SYNOPSIS
       squiral  [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background color] [-window] [-root] [-mono]
       [-install] [-noinstall] [-visual  visual]  [-fill  percent]  [-count  number]  [-delay  usec]  [-disorder
       fraction] [-handedness fraction] [-cycle] [-fps]


DESCRIPTION
       The squiral program displays interacting, spiral-producing automata


OPTIONS
       squiral 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.

       -fill percent
               Specify the percent (0-100) of the screen which must be filled  before  the  screen  is  cleared.
               60-80 percent are good values.

       -count number
               The number of squiralies.  By default, the screen width divided by 32.

       -delay usec
               The wait between steps.  The default is 1000.

       -disorder fraction
               The fraction of the time a squiraly will choose a new direction.  The default is 0.005.

       -handedness fraction
               The  fraction of the time a squiraly will choose to enter lefthanded mode.  0.0 means exclusively
               right-handed behavior, 0.5 (the default) is a balance between the two,  and  1.0  is  exclusively
               left-handed behaviour.

       -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.


BUGS
       None known
