6 [\-display \fIhost:display.screen\fP] [\-window] [\-root] [\-install]

22 The \fIglmatrix\fP program draws dropping characters similar to what
23 is seen in the title sequence of the Wachowski brothers' film,
27 .BR xmatrix (MANSUFFIX)
28 for a 2D rendering of the similar effect that appeared on the
29 computer monitors actually \fIin\fP the movie.

47 .B \-delay \fIusecs\fP
48 The delay between frames of the animation, in microseconds: default 30000.
50 .B \-speed \fIratio\fP
51 How fast the glyphs should move; default 1.0. 2.0 means twice as fast,
52 0.5 means half as fast.
54 .B \-density \fIpercentage\fP
55 The approximate percentage of the screen that should be filled with
56 characters at any given time. Default 20%.
59 By default, glyphs are dimmer the farther away they are. This
60 argument disables that.

81 Hide a clock displaying the current time somewhere in the glyphs.
83 .B \-timefmt\fP \fIstrftime-string\fP
84 How to format the clock when \fI\-clock\fP is specified.
87 .B \-speed \fIratio\fP
88 Less than 1 for slower, greater than 1 for faster. Default 1.
