NAME
       glknots - generates some	twisting 3d knot patterns

SYNOPSIS
       glknots	[--display  host:display.screen]  [--visual visual] [--window]
       [--root]	[--window-id number] [--delay number] [--speed float]  [--seg-
       ments  int]  [--thickness  float]  [--duration  seconds]	 [--no-wander]
       [--spin XYZ] [--wireframe] [--fps]

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  sec-
	       onds.).

       --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 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.
