NAME
       kaleidocycle - draws twistable rings of tetrahedra

SYNOPSIS
       kaleidocycle   [--display   host:display.screen]	  [--window]  [--root]
       [--window-id number] [--visual visual] [--delay microseconds]  [--count
       number]	[--speed number] [--wander] [--no-wander] [--spin axes]	[--no-
       spin] [--wireframe] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION
       The kaleidocycle	program	draws a	ring composed of tetrahedra  connected
       at  the	edges  that twists and rotates toroidally.  Segments are occa-
       sionally	inserted or removed.

OPTIONS
       kaleidocycle accepts the	following options:

       --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.

       --install
	       Install a private colormap for the window.

       --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.

       --count number
	       The initial number of segments.	Default	 16.   Must  be	 8  or
	       greater,	and an even number.

       --speed number
	       Adjust the animation speed. 0.5 for half	as fast, 2.0 for twice
	       as fast.

       --wander
	       Move the	text around the	screen.	 This is the default.

       --no-wander
	       Keep the	text centered on the screen.

       --spin  Which  axes  around which the text should spin.	The default is
	       "Z", meaning rotate the object the plane	of the screen only.

       --no-spin
	       Don't spin the text at all: the same as --spin "".

       --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.
