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.
