DESCRIPTION
       The pedal program displays pretty geometric pictures.

OPTIONS
       pedal accepts the following options:

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

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -foreground color
               The color for the foreground.  Default is white.

       -background color
               The color for the background.  Default is black.

       -delay seconds
               The  number  of seconds to pause between each pic-
               ture.

       -maxlines number
               The maximum number of lines in the drawing.   Good
               values  are between 20 and 2000.  Maximum value is
               16K.

       -fadedelay microseconds
               The number of micro seconds to take when fading in
               and out.

       -mono   Don't  do  fading.   Pretend we're on a monochrome
               display.

       your friends, try pedal -mono -delay 0 -maxlines 100.

       XENVIRONMENT
               to  get the name of a resource file that overrides
               the global resources stored in  the  RESOURCE_MAN-
