15       repeatedly solving itself.
16

OPTIONS

18       lament accepts the following options:
19
20       -window Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
21
22       -root   Draw on the root window.
23
24       -install
25               Install a private colormap for the window.
26
27       -visual visual
28               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
29               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
30               visual.
31
32       -texture
33               Use texture maps.  This is the default.
34
35       -no-texture
36               Do not use texture maps.  This is boring and wrong.
37
38       -wireframe
39               Only draw outlines.
40
41       -delay microseconds
42               How long to pause between frames.  Default is  20000,  or  0.02
43               second.
44
45       -fps    Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
46

ENVIRONMENT

48       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
49
50       XENVIRONMENT
51               to  get  the  name of a resource file that overrides the global
52               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
53

BUGS

55       This hack is glacially slow on machines lacking hardware  texture  sup‐
56       port.
57
58       Occasionally  opens  doors,  admitting  theologians of the Order of the
59       Gash.
