-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.

-delay microseconds
    How much of a delay should be introduced between steps of the animation. Default 20000, or about 1/50th second.

-waves int
    How many cosines to add together. The more waves, the more complex the apparent motion.
