NAME

       skytentacles - 3D tentacles from the sky!

SYNOPSIS

       skytentacles  [-display	host:display.screen]  [-visual	visual]  [-window]  [-root] [-delay int] [-speed ratio] [-count int] [-slices int]
       [-length float] [-wiggliness ratio] [-flexibility ratio]  [-color  color]  [-stripe-color  color]  [-sucker-color  color]  [-segments  int]
       [-thickness ratio] [-no-smooth] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

       There is a tentacled abomination in the sky.  From above you it devours.

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 int
	       Delay between frames, in microseconds.  Default 30000.

       -speed ratio
	       Less than 1 for slower, greater than 1 for faster.  Default 1.

       -count int
	       How many tentacles.  Default 8.

       -thickness ratio
	       Less than 1 for thinner tentacles, greater than 1 for thicker.  Default 1.

       -length ratio
	       Length of the tentacles.  Default 9.

       -wiggliness ratio
	       A  measure  of how bendy the tentacles are.  Smaller numbers result in smoother flexing; larger numbers make it "crinkly".  Default
	       0.35.

       -flexibility ratio
	       Another measure of how bendy the tentacles are.	Smaller numbers result in straighter tentacles;  larger  numbers  result  in  more
	       extreme curves.	Default 0.35.

       -color color

       -stripe-color color

       -sucker-color color
	       The colors of the various parts of the tentacle.  Default green with a redish stripe.

       -slices int

       -segments int
	       Larger numbers increase number of polygons in the object mesh.  Default 32.

       -no-smooth
	       Make the tentacles appear faceted instead of smooth.

       -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.

NAME

       anemone - wiggling tentacles.

SYNOPSIS

       anemone	[-display  host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-delay number] [-arms number] [-finpoints number] [-width num-
       ber]

DESCRIPTION

       Wiggling tentacles.

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: 40000 (0.04 seconds.).

       -arms number
	       Arms.  2 - 500.	Default: 128.

       -finpoints number
	       Tentacles.  3 - 200.  Default: 64.

       -withdraw number
	       Frequency that the arms withdraw. Arms withdraw on randomly generated values between 1 and 11; this value  determines  the  maximum
	       value of that range. So 100 spends a lot of time withdrawn, while 1000,000 tends not to withdraw at all. Default: 1200.

       -turnspeed number
	       How fast it turns. At zero, not at all, all they way up to thousands which are very fast indeed.  Default: 50.

       -width number
	       Thickness.  1 - 10.  Default: 2.

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.
