NAME

       lament - animates the Lament Configuration

SYNOPSIS

       lament [-display host:display.screen] [-window] [-root] [-install] [-visual visual] [-delay microseconds]
       [-fps] [-texture] [-no-texture] [-wireframe]

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.

       -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.

BUGS

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

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