--layers int

How many different spirals to draw at once.  Default 4.

--count int

How many arms each spiral should have.  Default 11.

--twistiness float

How tightly wound the spirals can become, measured in rotations. Default 4.0 (four times around).

--speed ratio

Less than 1 for slower, greater than 1 for faster.  Default 1.

--wander

If specified, then the centers of the spirals will wander around, rather than them all having the same origin.

--symmetric

If specified, then each pair of left-wrapping and right-wrapping spirals will be mirror images of each other.

--fps

Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
