SYNOPSIS

       kaleidocycle  [--display  host:display.screen] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number] [--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.

       --window-id number
               Draw on the specified 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.

       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
               The window ID to use with --root.
