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

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

--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

twice as fast.

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

--no-wander

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

Don't spin the text at all: the same as --spin "".
