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.
