OPTIONS

18       lament accepts the following options:
19
20       --window
21               Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
22
23       --root  Draw on the root window.
24
25       --window-id number
26               Draw on the specified window.
27
28       --install
29               Install a private colormap for the window.
30
31       --visual visual
32               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
33               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
34               visual.
35

37               Use texture maps.  This is the default.
38
39       --no-texture
40               Do not use texture maps.  This is boring and wrong.
41
42       --wireframe
43               Only draw outlines.
44
45       --delay microseconds
46               How long to pause between frames.  Default is  20000,  or  0.02
47               second.
48
49       --fps   Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.

56               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.

BUGS

62       This hack is glacially slow on machines lacking hardware  texture  sup‐
63       port.
64
65       Occasionally  opens  doors,  admitting  theologians of the Order of the
66       Gash.
