| 28 | .SH NAME |
| 29 | xfishtank \- Fish swimming across your Root Window |
| 30 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
| 31 | .B xfishtank |
| 32 | [\-c <color>] [\-b <limit>] [\-f <limit>] [\-i <mult>] [\-r <rate>] [\-m <num>] |
| 33 | [\-C <num>] [\-d] [\-p <file>] [host:display] |
| 34 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 35 | .LP |
| 36 | xfishtank is a animation program to simulate an Aquarium on your X desktop. |
| 37 | .LP |
| 38 | Each fish can have up to 255 colors, but on startup the program |
| 39 | takes all the colors from all the fish, and squeezes them down to all fit |
| 40 | into the default colormap as best it can. Any fish can be any size in |
| 41 | width and height. To make them look more like they are swimming, fish are |
| 42 | animated (Very simple 2 frame animation). Fish CANNOT swim over each other, they |
| 43 | will turn around if they are about to collide. |
