DESCRIPTION
       The braid program draws random color-cycling braids around
       a circle.

OPTIONS
       braid accepts the following options:

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

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -mono   If  on  a  color  display,  pretend  we're  on   a
               monochrome display.

       -install
               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.

       -ncolors integer
               How  many  colors  should  be  used (if possible).
               Default 64.  The colors  used  cycle  through  the
               hue, making N stops around the color wheel.
