+.SH NAME
+xaos - Fast interactive real-time fractal zoomer/morpher
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+xaos [\fIOPTIONS\fR]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+XaoS is a fast portable real-time interactive fractal zoomer. It
+displays the Mandelbrot set (among other escape time fractals) and
+allows you to zoom smoothly into the fractal. Various coloring modes are
+provided for both the points inside and outside the selected set. In
+addition, switching between Julia and Mandelbrot fractal types and
+displaying planes is provided. The first version was a poorly written
+Mandelbrot viewer by Thomas later modified by Jan to support high
+frame-rate zooming. Other additions were later made including autopilot
+(for those of you without driver licenses), palette changing, PNG
+saving, and fractal inversion.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+
+ -delay number
+ Delay screen updates (milliseconds)
+ -driver string
+ Select driver
+ -list List available drivers. Then exit
+ -config Print configuration. Then exit
+ -speedtest Test speed of calculation loop. Then exit
+ -threads number
+ Set number of threads (CPUs) to use
+ -pipe string
+ Accept commands from pipe (use "-" for stdin)
+ -maxframerate number
+ Maximal framerate (0 for unlimited - default)
+
+Screen size options:
+
+ Knowledge of exact screen size makes random dot stereogram look better.
+ Also is used for choosing correct view area
+
+ -screenwidth f.point
+ exact size of screen in centimeters
+ -screenheight f.point
+ exact size of screen in centimeters
+
+ Use this option in case you use some kind of virtual screen
+ or something similiar that confuses previous options
+
+ -pixelwidth f.point
+ exact size of one pixel in centimeters
+ -pixelheight f.point
+ exact size of one pixel in centimeters
+
+Animation rendering:
+
+ -render string
+ Render animation into seqence of .png files
+ -basename string
+ Name for .png files (XaoS will add 4 digit number and extension
+ -size string
+ widthxheight
+ -renderimage string
+ 256 or truecolor
+ -renderframerate f.point
+ framerate
+ -antialiasing Perform antialiasing (slow, requires quite lot of memory)
+ -alwaysrecalc Always recalculate whole image (slowes down rendering, increases quality)
+ -rendervectors Render motion vectors (should be used for MPEG encoding)
+ -iframedist number
+ Recommended distance between I frames in pat file (should be used for MPEG encoding)
+
+X11 driver options:
+
+ -display string
+ Select display
+ -size string
+ Select size of window (WIDTHxHEIGHT).
+ -sync Generate sync signals before looking for events. This
+ helps on old and buggy HP-UX X servers.
+ -shared Use shared colormap on pseudocolor display.
+ -usedefault Use default visual if autodetection causes troubles.
+ -nomitshm Disable MITSHM extension.
+ -fullscreen Enable fullscreen mode.
+ -windowid number
+ Use selected window.
+ -window-id number
+ Use selected window.
+ -root Use root window.
+
+Command line options only
+
+ -print_menus print menus specifications of all menus
+ -print_menu string
+ print menu specification
+ -xshl_print_menustring
+ print menu specification in xshl format
+ -xshl_print_menus print all menu specifications in xshl format
+ -print_dialog string
+ print dialog specification
