DESCRIPTION
       The braid program draws random color-cycling braids around a circle.


OPTIONS
       braid 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 used cycle through the
               hue, making N stops around the color wheel.

       -cycles integer

       -count integer

       -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.
