DESCRIPTION

       The moire program draws cool circular interference patterns.

OPTIONS

       moire 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.

       --delay seconds
               How long to wait before starting over.  Default 5 seconds.

       --random boolean
               Whether to ignore the foreground/background colors, and pick them randomly instead.

       --offset integer
               The maximum random radius increment to use.

       --ncolors integer
               How many colors should be allocated in the color  ramp  (note  that  this  value  interacts  with
               offset.)

       --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.
