       -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.
