OPTIONS

       squiral 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.

       --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.

       --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.

       --scale number
               Line thickness.

       --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.

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.
