NAME

       lament - animates the Lament Configuration

SYNOPSIS

       lament [--display host:display.screen] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number][--install]
       [--visual visual] [--delay microseconds] [--fps] [--texture] [--no-texture] [--wireframe]

DESCRIPTION

       The lament program draws an animation  of  a  particular  puzzle  box  repeatedly  solving
       itself.

OPTIONS

       lament accepts the following options:

       --window
               Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.

       --root  Draw on the root window.

       --window-id number
               Draw on the specified window.

       --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.

       --texture
               Use texture maps.  This is the default.

       --no-texture
               Do not use texture maps.  This is boring and wrong.

       --wireframe
               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.

       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
               The window ID to use with --root.

BUGS

       This hack is glacially slow on machines lacking hardware texture support.

       Occasionally opens doors, admitting theologians of the Order of the Gash.
