       ger] [-max-radius integer] [-min-scale fraction] [-max-scale fraction]

DESCRIPTION
       The goal of nerverot is to be interesting and compelling to watch,  yet
       induce  a  state	 of  nervous  edginess	in  the	 viewer.  This manpage
       describes v1.2 of the program.

OPTIONS
       nerverot accepts the following options:

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

       -root   Draw on the root window.

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

       -install
	       Install a private colormap for the window.

       -visual visual
	       Which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name	 of  a	visual
	       class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.

       -db     -no-db  Use  double-buffering  (or  not, respectively). Double-
	       buffering may make things look better for  larger  line	widths
	       and/or  larger  numbers	of  blots,  but "better" may equate to
	       yielding less of the desired edginess effect. You'll be	calmer
	       after  watching the double-buffered variant; you're more likely
	       to go into epileptic fits with it off. Hence, it is off (false)
	       by default, resource doubleBuffer.

       -colors integer
	       How many colors should be used (if possible). The colors form a
	       smooth ramp between two randomly-chosen colors. Defaults to  4,
	       resource colors.

       -delay microseconds
	       The  interframe	delay,	in  microseconds.  Defaults  to 10000,
	       resource delay.

       -count integer
	       How many "blots" to draw at a time. This number may be  rounded
	       down to fit the particularly chosen model, and has a fixed min‐
	       imum per-model.	Defaults to 250, resource count.

       -line-width integer
	       The width of the lines to draw. 0  means	 an  optimized	pixel-
	       thick line.  Defaults to 0, resource lineWidth.

       -event-chance fraction
	       The  chance,  per iteration, for a life-altering event to occur
	       (such as picking a new rotation target),	 in  the  range	 0..1.
	       Defaults to 0.2, resource eventChance.

       -iter-amt fraction
	       The  fraction  of  movement  towards a target (such as rotation
	       angle or scale) that happens per iteration, in the range	 0..1.
	       Defaults to 0.01, resource terAmt.

       -nervousness fraction
	       How  nervous  the  drawing  is,	in the range 0..1. This is how
	       jumpy the points on each blot are. Defaults  to	0.3,  resource
	       nervousness.

       -max-nerve-radius fraction
	       The  maximum  radius  of blot nervousness, as a fraction of the
	       radius of the  blot,  in	 the  range  0..1.  Defaults  to  0.7,
	       resource maxNerveRadius.

       -min-radius integer
	       The minimum radius for a blot, in the range 1..100. Defaults to
	       3, resource minRadius.

       -max-radius integer
	       The maximum radius for a blot, in the range 1..100. Defaults to
	       25, resource maxRadius.

       -min-scale fraction
	       The minimum overall scale of drawing, as a fraction of min(win‐
	       dowHeight,windowWidth), in the range 0..10.  Defaults  to  0.6,
	       resource minScale.

       -max-scale fraction
	       The maximum overall scale of drawing, as a fraction of min(win‐
	       dowHeight,windowWidth), in the range 0..10. Defaults  to	 1.75,
	       resource maxScale.

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.

X RESOURCES
       There are resource equivalents for each option, noted above.

BUGS
       nerverot should have more models.
