DESCRIPTION

The lament program draws an animation of a particular puzzle box
repeatedly solving itself.

OPTIONS

lament accepts the following options:

--window
Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.

--root Draw on the root window.

--window-id number
Draw on the specified window.

--install
Install a private colormap for the window.

--visual visual
Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a
visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
visual.

--texture
Use texture maps. This is the default.

--no-texture
Do not use texture maps. This is boring and wrong.

--wireframe
Only draw outlines.

--delay microseconds
How long to pause between frames. Default is 20000, or 0.02
second.

--fps Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.

ENVIRONMENT

DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.

XENVIRONMENT
to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global
resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.

XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
The window ID to use with --root.

BUGS

This hack is glacially slow on machines lacking hardware texture
support.

Occasionally opens doors, admitting theologians of the Order of the
Gash.
