DESCRIPTION
The imsmap program generates map or cloud-like patterns. It looks quite different in monochrome and color.

OPTIONS
imsmap accepts the following options:

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

-ncolors integer
    How many colors to use. Default 50.

-delay integer
    How long to delay between images. Default 10 seconds.

-delay2 integer
    How long to delay between bitmaps. Default 200000 (0.2 seconds).

-iterations integer
    A measure of the resolution of the resultant image, from 0 to 7. Default 7.

-mode [ hue | saturation | value | random ]
    The axis upon which colors should be interpolated between the foreground and background color. Default random.
