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.
