SYNOPSIS

imsmap [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background color] [-window] [-root] [-mono] [-install] [-visual visual] [-ncolors int] [-delay seconds] [-iterations int] [-mode h|s|v|random] [-cycle] [-no-cycle]

DESCRIPTION

The imsmap program generates map or cloud-like patterns. It looks quite different in monochrome and color.

How many colors to use. Default 50.
-delay integer
How long to delay between images. Default 10 seconds.
-iterations integer
A measure of the resolution of the resultant image, from 0 to 7. Default 7.
-mode [ hue | saturation | value | random ]
The axis upon which colors should be interpolated between the foreground and background color. Default random.
-cycle
-no-cycle
Whether to do colormap cycling. Default is to cycle.
-cycle-delay
Number of microseconds between shifts of the colormap; default 100000, or 1/10th second.
