NAME
       distort - distort the content of the screen in interesting ways

SYNOPSIS
       distort [-root] [-window] [-mono] [-install] [-noinstall] [-visual vis‐
       ual] [-window-id window-id] [-delay  usecs]  [-radius  pixels]  [-speed
       int]  [-number  int] [-swamp] [-bounce] [-reflect] [-vortex] [-magnify]
       [-blackhole] [-slow] [-shm] [-no-shm]

DESCRIPTION
       The distort 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.

OPTIONS
       distort accepts the following options:

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.

       -mono   If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.

       -install
	       Install a private colormap for the window.

       -noinstall
	       Don't 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.

       -window-id window-id
	       Specify which window id to use.

       -delay usecs
	       Specify	the  delay  between  subsequent	 animation  frames  in
	       microseconds.

       -radius pixels
	       Specify the radius of the distortion zone in pixels.

       -speed int
	       Specify the speed at which the distortion zone moves,  where  0
	       is slow, higher numbers are faster (10 is pretty fast.)

       -number int
	       Specify the number of distortion zones.

       -swamp  Instead	of letting zones wander around, let small zones pop up
	       like bubbles in a swamp and leave permanent distortion.

       -bounce Let zones wander around and bounce off the window border.  This
	       is the default.

       -reflect
	       Mode  of	 distortion that resembles reflection by a cylindrical
	       mirror.

       -vortex Whirlpool-shaped distortion. Way cool.

       -magnify
	       This mode of distortion looks like a magnifying glass.

       -blackhole
	       Suck your pixels beyond the event horizon. Favourite mode of Dr
	       Stephen Hawking.

       -slow   Make the zone wander slower.

       -shm    Use shared memory extension.

       -no-shm Don't use shared memory extension.

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.
