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.
