NAME

       glknots - generates some twisting 3d knot patterns

SYNOPSIS

       glknots [-display host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-delay number] [-speed float] [-segments int] [-thickness float]
       [-duration seconds] [-no-wander] [-spin XYZ] [-wireframe] [-fps]

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.
