NAME

       geodesic - animates a mesh geodesic sphere.

SYNOPSIS

       geodesic   [--display   host:display.screen]   [--visual   visual]   [--window]   [--root]
       [--window-id number] [--mode mode]  [--no-wander]  [--no-spin]  [--fps]  [--delay  number]
       [--speed number] [--count number]

DESCRIPTION

       Animates a mesh geodesic sphere of increasing and decreasing complexity. A geodesic sphere
       is an icosohedron whose equilateral faces are sub-divided into  non-equilateral  triangles
       to more closely approximate a sphere.

       The  animation  shows  the equilateral triangles subdivided into four coplanar equilateral
       triangles;  and  then  inflated  outward,  causing  the  sub-triangles  to  no  longer  be
       equilateral, but to more closely approximate the surface of a sphere.

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.

       --window-id number
               Draw on the specified window.

       --mode mesh | solid | stellated | stellated2 | wire
               Face/edge display style. Default mesh.

       --wander | --no-wander
               Whether the object should wander around the screen.

       --spin | --no-spin
               Whether the object should spin.

       --fps | --no-fps
               Whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of the screen.

       --delay number
               Per-frame delay, in microseconds.  Default: 30000 (0.03 seconds).

       --speed number
               Animation speed.  2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast.

       --count number
               Depth (frequency) of the geodesic sphere.  Default: 4.

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.

       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
               The window ID to use with --root.
