16

OPTIONS

18       cwaves 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       -mono   If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
25
26       -install
27               Install a private colormap for the window.
28
29       -visual visual
30               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
31               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
32               visual.
33
34       -delay microseconds
35               How much of a delay should be introduced between steps  of  the
36               animation.  Default 20000, or about 1/50th second.
37
38       -waves int
39               How  many  cosines  to  add together.  The more waves, the more
40               complex the apparent motion.
41
42       -colors int
43               How many colors to use.  Default 800.   The  more  colors,  the
44               smoother the blending will be.
45
46       -fps    Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
