moire [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background color] [-window] [-root] [-mono] [-install] [-visual visual] [-delay seconds] [-random boolean] [-ncolors int] [-offset int]

The moire program draws cool circular interference patterns.

moire accepts the following options:

-window

Draw on a newly-created window. 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.

-delay seconds

How long to wait before starting over. Default 5 seconds.

-random boolean

Whether to ignore the foreground/background colors, and pick them randomly instead.

-offset integer

The maximum random radius increment to use.

-ncolors integer

How many colors should be allocated in the color ramp (note that this value interacts with offset.)

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.
