The lmorph program generates random spline-ish line drawings and morphs between them.

Options

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

-points integer

Number of points in each line drawing. Default is 200 points.

-steps integer

Interpolation steps from one drawing to the next. Default is 150. You may specify 0, to get a random number between 100 and 500.

-delay microseconds

How much of a delay should be introduced between steps of the animation. Default 70000.

-figtype type

Limit the figures to only open or closed figures. Possible types are "all" (default), "open" and "closed".
