OPTIONS

21       --visual visual
22               Specify  which  visual  to use.  Legal values are the name of a
23               visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of  a  specific
24               visual.
25
26       --window
27               Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
28
29       --root  Draw on the root window.
30
31       --window-id number
32               Draw on the specified window.
33
34       --delay int
35               Delay between frames, in microseconds.  Default 30000.
36
37       --speed ratio
38               Less than 1 for slower, greater than 1 for faster.  Default 1.
39
40       --count int
41               How many tentacles.  Default 8.
42
43       --thickness ratio

50       --wiggliness ratio
51               A measure of how bendy the tentacles are.  Smaller numbers  re‐
52               sult  in  smoother  flexing;  larger numbers make it "crinkly".

56               Another measure of how bendy the tentacles are.   Smaller  num‐
57               bers  result  in straighter tentacles; larger numbers result in
58               more extreme curves.  Default 0.35.
