DESCRIPTION
       The rorschach program draws random patterns reminiscent of the
       psychological test of same name.

OPTIONS
       rorschach 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.

       --iterations integer
               How many dots should be drawn each time.  Default 4000.

       --offset integer
               How far apart the dots should be.  Default 4 pixels.

       --xsymmetry
               Whether the images should be horizontally symmetrical.  Default
               true.

       --ysymmetry
               Whether the images should be vertically symmetrical.  Default
               false.

       --erase-speed usecs
               This controls the speed at which the screen will be erased.
               (Delay between erasing of individual lines.)

       --delay seconds
               This sets the number of seconds that the figure will be on the
               screen.

       --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.

BUGS
       May call your sanity into question.
