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
