DESCRIPTION
Generates some twisting 3d knot patterns. Spins 'em around.
OPTIONS
- -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.
- -window
-
Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
- -root
-
Draw on the root window.
- -delay number
-
Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 30000 (0.03 seconds.).
- -speed number
-
Larger numbers mean run faster. Default: 1.0.
- -segments number
-
Number of segments in each path. Default 800. Larger numbers make the
curves smoother, at the expense of a higher polygon count.
- -thickness float
-
How thick the tubes should be. Default 0.3.
- -duration seconds
-
How long to leave each knot up. Default 8 seconds.
- -wander | -no-wander
-
Whether the cubes should wander around the screen.
- -spin [XYZ] | -no-spin
-
Which axes, if any, to spin around on.
- -wireframe | -no-wireframe
-
Render in wireframe instead of solid.
- -fps
-
Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
ENVIRONMENT
- DISPLAY
-
to get the default host and display number.
- XENVIRONMENT
-
to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources
stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
