DESCRIPTION
       The flame program generates colorful fractal displays.

OPTIONS
       flame 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.

       --colors integer
               How many colors should be used (if possible).  Default 64.

       --iterations integer
               How many fractals to generate.  Default 25.

       --points integer
               How many pixels to draw for each fractal.  Default 10000.

       --delay microseconds
               How long we should wait between drawing each fractal.  Default
               50000, or about 1/20th second.

       --delay2 microseconds
               How long we should wait before clearing the screen when each
               run ends.  Default 2000000, or two seconds.

       --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.
