NAME

       kaleidocycle - draws twistable rings of tetrahedra

SYNOPSIS

       kaleidocycle  [-display  host:display.screen]  [-window]  [-root]  [-visual visual] [-delay microseconds]
       [-count number] [-speed number] [-wander] [-no-wander] [-spin axes] [-no-spin] [-wireframe] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

       The kaleidocycle program draws a ring composed of tetrahedra connected  at  the  edges  that  twists  and
       rotates toroidally.  Segments are occasionally inserted or removed.

OPTIONS

       kaleidocycle accepts the following options:

       -window Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -install
               Install a private colormap for the window.

       -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.

       -count number
               The initial number of segments. Default 16.  Must be 8 or greater, and an even number.

       -speed number
               Adjust the animation speed. 0.5 for half as fast, 2.0 for twice as fast.

       -wander Move the text around the screen.  This is the default.

       -no-wander
               Keep the text centered on the screen.

       -spin   Which axes around which the text should spin.  The default is "Z", meaning rotate the object  the
               plane of the screen only.

       -no-spin
               Don't spin the text at all: the same as -spin "".

       -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.
