       -minmass number
	       The minimum mass of each mass point. Default: 0.001

       -maxmass number
	       The maximum mass of each mass point. Default: 0.02

       -minspeed number
	       The minimum speed of each mass point. Default: 0.001

       -maxspeed number
	       The maximum speed of each mass point. Default: 0.02 -delay number Per-frame delay, in microseconds.  Default: 10000
