DESCRIPTION

       The grav program draws a simple orbital simulation

OPTIONS

       grav 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.

       -ncolors integer
               How many colors should be used (if possible).  Default 64.  The colors are  chosen
               randomly.

       -count integer
               Default 12.

       -decay

       -no-decay
               Whether orbits should decay.

       -trail

       -no-trail
               Whether  the objects should leave trails behind them (makes it look vaguely like a
               cloud-chamber.

       -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.
