helix - draw helical string-art patterns SYNOPSIS
helix [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background color] [-window] [-root] [-mono] [-erase-speed usecs] [-erase-mode integer] [-delay seconds] [-install] [-visual visual] DESCRIPTION
The helix program draws interesting patterns composed of line segments in random colors. OPTIONS
helix 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. -erase-speed usecs This controls the speed at which the screen will be erased. Lower numbers erase faster. -erase-mode integer This sets the erase mode. Mode -1 chooses a random mode each time. There are currently 6 modes defined (0-5). -delay seconds This sets the number of seconds that the helix will be on the screen. -subdelay microseconds This sets the amount of time to pause periodically while drawing. -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. 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

rorschach - simulate ink-blot patterns SYNOPSIS
rorschach [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background color] [-window] [-root] [-mono] [-install] [-visual visual] [-iterations integer] [-offset integer] [-xsymmetry] [-ysymmetry] [-erase-mode integer] [-erase-speed usecs] [-delay secs] DESCRIPTION
The rorschach program draws random patterns reminiscent of the psychological test of same name. OPTIONS
rorschach 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. -iterations integer How many dots should be drawn each time. Default 4000. -offset integer How far apart the dots should be. Default 4 pixels. -xsymmetry Whether the images should be horizontally symmetrical. Default true. -ysymmetry Whether the images should be vertically symmetrical. Default false. -erase-mode integer This sets the erase mode. Mode -1 chooses a random mode each time. There are currently 6 modes defined (0-5). -erase-speed usecs This controls the speed at which the screen will be erased. (Delay between erasing of individual lines.) -delay seconds This sets the number of seconds that the figure will be on the screen. 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
