This is the default. - **-root** Draw on the root window. - **-mono** If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display. - **-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. - **-points *integer*** Number of points in each line drawing. Default is 200 points. - **-steps *integer*** Interpolation steps from one drawing to the next. Default is 150. You may specify 0, to get a random number between 100 and 500. - **-delay *microseconds*** How much of a delay should be introduced between steps of the animation. Default 70000. - **-figtype *type*** Limit the figures to only open or closed figures. Possible types are "all" (default), "open" and "closed". - **-linewidth *integer*** Width of lines. Default is 5 pixels. ## 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. ## SEE ALSO **X**(1), [**xscreensaver**(1)](/xscreensaver/1.md) ## AUTHOR Sverre H.
