lament accepts the following options:

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

       --root  Draw on the root window.

       --window-idnumber
               Draw on the specified window.

       --install
               Install a private colormap for the window.

       --visualvisual
               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.

       --texture
               Use texture maps.  This is the default.

       --no-texture
               Do not use texture maps.  This is boring and wrong.

       --wireframe
               Only draw outlines.

       --delaymicroseconds
               How long to pause between frames.  Default is 20000, or 0.02 second.

       --fps   Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
