OPTIONS

19       cwaves accepts the following options:
20
21       --window
22               Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
23
24       --root  Draw on the root window.
25
26       --window-id number
27               Draw on the specified window.
28
29       --mono  If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
30
31       --install
32               Install a private colormap for the window.
33
34       --visual visual
35               Specify  which  visual  to use.  Legal values are the name of a
36               visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of  a  specific
37               visual.
38
39       --delay microseconds
40               How  much  of a delay should be introduced between steps of the
41               animation.  Default 20000, or about 1/50th second.
42
43       --waves int
44               How many cosines to add together.  The  more  waves,  the  more
45               complex the apparent motion.
46
47       --colors int
48               How  many  colors  to  use.  Default 800.  The more colors, the
49               smoother the blending will be.
50
51       --fps   Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
52

58               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
59
60       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
