8 The \fIdistort\fP program lets circular zones of distortion wander
9 randomly around its window, apparently distorting what is under them
10 due to the window's pseudo-transparency. The mode of distortion and
11 the overall behaviour of the zones can be influenced in various ways.
14 accepts the following options:
17 Draw on the root window.
20 Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
23 If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
26 Install a private colormap for the window.
29 Don't install a private colormap for the window.
31 .B \-visual \fIvisual\fP
32 Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual
33 class or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.
35 .B \-window\-id \fIwindow\-id\fP
36 Specify which window id to use.
38 .B \-delay \fIusecs\fP
39 Specify the delay between subsequent animation frames in microseconds.
41 .B \-radius \fIpixels\fP
42 Specify the radius of the distortion zone in pixels.
44 .B \-speed \fIfloat\fP
45 Specify the speed of the distortion zone, where 1.0 is kind of slow,
46 0.5 is twice as slow and 2.0 is twice as fast.
49 Specify the number of distortion zones.
52 Instead of letting zones wander around, let small zones pop up like
53 bubbles in a swamp and leave permanent distortion.
56 Let zones wander around and bounce off the window border. This is the
60 Mode of distortion that resembles reflection by a cylindrical mirror.
63 Whirlpool-shaped distortion. Way cool.
66 This mode of distortion looks like a magnifying glass.
69 Suck your pixels beyond the event horizon. Favourite mode of Dr
73 Make the zone wander slower.
76 Use shared memory extension.
79 Don't use shared memory extension.

88 stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
