DESCRIPTION
The xmatrix program draws dropping characters similar to the displays
in the Wachowski brothers' film, "The Matrix".
OPTIONS
xmatrix accepts the following options:
-window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
-root Draw on the root window.
-install
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.
-delay usecs
The delay between steps of the animation, in microseconds:
default 10000.
-density percentage
The approximate percentage of the screen that should be filled
with characters at any given time. Default 75%.
-top | -bottom | -both
If -top is specified, the characters will only drop in from the
top of the screen as sliding columns of characters. If -bottom
is specified, then instead of sliding columns, the characters
will appear as columns that grow downwards and are erased from
above. If -both is specified, then a mixture of both styles
will be used. The default is -both.
-small | -large
These options specify the sizes of the characters. The default
is -large.
-trace Start off with a representation of a phone number being traced.
When the number is finally found, display The Matrix as usual.
-phone number
The phone number to trace, if -trace is specified.
ENVIRONMENT
DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
XENVIRONMENT

resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
