       [--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.

       --window-id number
               Draw on the specified 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.

       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
               The window ID to use with --root.
