SYNOPSIS

       hydrostat  [-display  host:display.screen]  [-visual  visual]  [-window]  [-root] [-delay number] [-speed
       number] [-count number] [-head-radius number] [-tentacles number] [-thickness  number]  [-length  number]
       [-gravity number] [-current number] [-friction number] [-no-pulse] [-wireframe] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

       Wiggly  squid  or  jellyfish with many tentacles.  A muscular hydrostat is a biological structure used to
       move its host about, consisting of muscles with no skeletal support. It performs its  hydraulic  movement
       without fluid in a separate compartment, as in a hydrostatic skeleton.

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: 20000 (0.02 seconds).

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

       -count number
               Number of squid.  1 - 100.  Default: 10.

       -head-radius number
               Head size.  10 - 100.  Default: 60.

       -tentacles number
               Number of tentacles.  3 - 100.  Default: 40.

       -thickness number
               Thickness of tentacles.  3 - 40.  Default: 18.

       -length number
               Length of tentacles.  10 - 150.  Default: 70.

       -gravity number
               Strength of gravity.  0 - 10.0.  Default: 0.5.

       -current number
               Strength of current.  0.0 - 10.0.  Default: 0.25.

       -friction number
               Coefficient of friction.  0.0 - 0.1.  Default: 0.02.

       -pulse | -no-pulse
               Whether the squid should pulse. Default true.

       -wireframe | -no-wireframe
               Render in wireframe instead of solid.

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

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.
