DESCRIPTION
This draws one of several three dimensional parametric surfaces.
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: 20000 (0.02
seconds.).
--speed number Number of frames before changing shape. Default: 1000.
--surface random (Shortcut:
--random-surface)
Display a random surface. This is the default.
--surface dini (Shortcut:
--dini)
Display Dini's surface.
--surface enneper (Shortcut:
--enneper)
Display Enneper's minimal surface.
--surface kuen (Shortcut:
--kuen)
Display the Kuen surface.
--surface moebius (Shortcut:
--moebius)
Display the Moebius strip.
--surface seashell (Shortcut:
--seashell)
Display the seashell surface.
--surface swallowtail (Shortcut:
--swallowtail)
Display the swallowtail catastrophe.
--surface bohemian (Shortcut:
--bohemian)
Display the Bohemian dome.
--surface whitney (Shortcut:
--whitney)
Display the Whitney umbrella.
--surface pluecker (Shortcut:
--pluecker)
Display Pluecker's conoid.
--surface henneberg (Shortcut:
--henneberg)
Display Henneberg's minimal surface.
--surface catalan (Shortcut:
--catalan)
Display Catalan's minimal surface.
--surface corkscrew (Shortcut:
--corkscrew)
Display the corkscrew surface.
--mode random (Shortcut:
--random-mode)
Use random OpenGL primitives to display the surface. This is
the default.
--mode points (Shortcut:
--points)
Use OpenGL points to display the surface.
--mode lines (Shortcut:
--lines)
Use OpenGL lines to display the surface.
--mode line-loops (Shortcut:
--line-loops)
Use OpenGL line loops to display the surface.
--wander | --no-wander Whether to wander around the screen.
--spin | --no-spin Whether to rotate around the center of the figure.
--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.
