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.

--window-id number

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.
