DESCRIPTION

       xspirograph draws patterns such as those made by a spirograph, that is,
       the curve traced by a point on a circular disk rotating on  the  inside
       of a hollow circular rim.

OPTIONS

               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 secs
               The  delay  between  finishing  one draw and starting the next.
               Default: 5 seconds.

       -subdelay usec
               The time to delay between each hundred line draws.  Use this if

       -alwaysfinish -noalwaysfinish
               If  you want each pattern to draw until it is done, specify the

               tions.  Default: no.
