NAME

       goop - squishy transparent oil and bubble screenhack

SYNOPSIS

       goop  [-display  host:display.screen]  [-foreground  color]  [-background color] [-window]
       [-root] [-mono] [-install] [-visual visual] [-transparent] [-non-transparent]  [-additive]
       [-subtractive] [-xor] [-no-xor] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

       The  goop  program  draws  a  simulation  of bubbles in layers of overlapping multicolored
       translucent fluid.

OPTIONS

       goop 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.

       -count integer
               How many bubbles to draw per layer.  Default: random.

       -planes integer
               How many planes to draw.  Default: random, based on screen depth.

       -delay microseconds
               How  much of a delay should be introduced between steps of the animation.  Default
               12000, or about 0.012 seconds.

       -transparent
               If -layers is greater than 1, then each layer will be drawn in one color, and when
               they overlap, the colors will be mixed. This is the default.

       -non-transparent
               Turns off -transparent.

       -additive
               If -transparent is specified, then this option means that the colors will be mixed
               using an additive color model, as if the blobs were projected light.  This is  the
               default.

       -subtractive
               If -transparent is specified, then this option means that the colors will be mixed
               using a subtractive color model, as if the blobs were translucent filters.

       -xor    Draw with xor instead of the other color tricks.

       -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.
