Overview
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
-
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.
