21
22       --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       --iterations integer
41               How many dots should be drawn each time.  Default 4000.
42
43       --offset integer
44               How far apart the dots should be.  Default 4 pixels.
45
46       --xsymmetry
47               Whether the images should be horizontally symmetrical.  Default
48               true.
49
50       --ysymmetry
51               Whether  the  images should be vertically symmetrical.  Default
52               false.
53
54       --erase-speed usecs
55               This controls the speed at which the  screen  will  be  erased.
56               (Delay between erasing of individual lines.)
57
58       --delay seconds
59               This  sets the number of seconds that the figure will be on the
60               screen.
