Image noise/OCaml/Xlib

From Rosetta Code
Library: OCaml-Xlib

By default this program displays the noise with double buffering. The command-line options -single selects the single buffering.

Launch this program as a script with:

ocaml -I +Xlib Xlib.cma unix.cma noise_fps_x.ml                                                            
ocaml -I +Xlib Xlib.cma unix.cma noise_fps_x.ml -single

<lang ocaml>open Xlib

You can also compile this program to native-code with the following command:

$ ocamlopt -I +Xlib Xlib.cmxa unix.cmxa noise_fps_x.ml -o noise_fps_x.opt

and then execute the result with:

$ ./noise_fps_x.opt
