       imsmap - generate fractal maps

SYNOPSIS
       imsmap [--display host:display.screen] [--foreground color]
       [--background color] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number][--mono]
       [--install] [--visual visual] [--ncolors int] [--delay seconds]
       [--delay2 microseconds] [--iterations int] [--mode h|s|v|random]
       [--fps]

DESCRIPTION
       The imsmap program generates map or cloud-like patterns.  It looks
       quite different in monochrome and color.

OPTIONS
       imsmap 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.

       --ncolors integer
               How many colors to use.  Default 50.

       --delay integer
               How long to delay between images.  Default 10 seconds.

       --delay2 integer
               How long to delay between bitmaps.  Default 200000 (0.2
               seconds).

       --iterations integer
               A measure of the resolution of the resultant image, from 0 to
               7.  Default 7.

       --mode [ hue | saturation | value | random ]
               The axis upon which colors should be interpolated between the
               foreground and background color.  Default random.

       --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.
