27 [\-ncolors \fInumber\fP]
29 A cellular automaton that is really a two-dimensional Turing machine: as
30 the heads ("ants") walk along the screen, they change pixel values in
31 their path. Then, as they pass over changed pixels, their behavior is
35 .B \-visual \fIvisual\fP
36 Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class,
37 or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.
40 Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
43 Draw on the root window.
45 .B \-sharpturns | \-no-sharpturns
46 Whether to do sharp turns.
48 .B \-truchet | \-no-truchet
49 Whether to use truchet lines.
52 Whether to draw eyes on the ants.
54 .B \-delay \fInumber\fP
55 Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 1000 (0.0001 seconds.).
57 .B \-cycles \fInumber\fP
58 How long to wait until resetting. 0 - 800000. Default: 40000.
60 .B \-count \fInumber\fP
61 Ants Count. -20 - 20. Default: -3.
63 .B \-size \fInumber\fP
64 Ant Size. -18 - 18. Default: -12.
66 .B \-neighbors \fIN\fP

69 .B \-ncolors \fInumber\fP
70 Number of colors. Default: 64.
75 to get the default host and display number.
78 to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources
79 stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
