OPTIONS

20       squiral accepts the following options:
21
22       --window
23               Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
24
25       --root  Draw on the root window.
26
27       --window-id number
28               Draw on the specified window.
29
30       --mono  If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
31
32       --install
33               Install a private colormap for the window.
34
35       --visual visual
36               Specify  which  visual  to use.  Legal values are the name of a
37               visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of  a  specific
38               visual.
39
40       --fill percent
41               Specify  the percent (0-100) of the screen which must be filled
42               before the screen is cleared.  60-80 percent are good values.
43
44       --count number
45               The number of squiralies.  By default, the screen width divided
46               by 32.
47
48       --scale number
49               Line thickness.
50
51       --delay usec
52               The wait between steps.  The default is 1000.
53
54       --disorder fraction
55               The  fraction  of  the time a squiraly will choose a new direc‐
56               tion.  The default is 0.005.
57
58       --handedness fraction
59               The fraction of the time a squiraly will choose to enter  left‐
60               handed  mode.  0.0 means exclusively right-handed behavior, 0.5
61               (the default) is a balance between the two, and 1.0  is  exclu‐
62               sively left-handed behaviour.
