+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fIdistort\fP program lets circular zones of distortion wander
+randomly around its window, apparently distorting what is under them
+due to the window's pseudo-transparency. The mode of distortion and
+the overall behaviour of the zones can be influenced in various ways.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.I distort
+accepts the following options:
+.TP 8
+.B \-root
+Draw on the root window.
+.TP 8
+.B \-window
+Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.

+.B \-mono
+If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
+.TP 8
+.B \-install
+Install a private colormap for the window.
+.TP 8
+.B \-noinstall
+Don't install a private colormap for the window.
+.TP 8
+.B \-visual \fIvisual\fP
+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.
+.TP 8
+.B \-window\-id \fIwindow\-id\fP
+Specify which window id to use.
+.TP 8
+.B \-delay \fIusecs\fP
+Specify the delay between subsequent animation frames in microseconds.
+.TP 8
+.B \-radius \fIpixels\fP
+Specify the radius of the distortion zone in pixels.
+.TP 8
+.B \-speed \fIfloat\fP
+Specify the speed of the distortion zone, where 1.0 is kind of slow,
+0.5 is twice as slow and 2.0 is twice as fast.
+.TP 8
+.B \-number \fIint\fP
+Specify the number of distortion zones.
+.TP 8
+.B \-swamp
+Instead of letting zones wander around, let small zones pop up like
+bubbles in a swamp and leave permanent distortion.
+.TP 8
+.B \-bounce
+Let zones wander around and bounce off the window border. This is the
+default.
+.TP 8
+.B \-reflect
+Mode of distortion that resembles reflection by a cylindrical mirror.

+Whirlpool-shaped distortion. Way cool.

+.TP 8
+.B \-blackhole
+Suck your pixels beyond the event horizon. Favourite mode of Dr
+Stephen Hawking.
+.TP 8
+.B \-slow
+Make the zone wander slower.
+.TP 8
+.B \-shm
+Use shared memory extension.
+.TP 8
+.B \-no\-shm
