     glcells  [--display  host:display.screen]	[--window] [--root] [--window-id
     number][--install] [--visual visual] [--delay num]  [--pause  num]  [--max-

DESCRIPTION
     The glcells program draws cells that divide exponentially, eat and  eventu-
     ally die.

OPTIONS
     glcells 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.

     --pause num
	     Specifies	the pause at the end of the animation (all cells dead or
	     maximum amount of cells reached). Unit is in frames, default 20.

     --maxcells num
	     Specifies the maximum number of cells on screen  (dead  cells  also
	     count, even if invisible). Default is 800.

     --radius num
	     Specifies the radius of the cells. Default is 40.

     --seeds num
	     Specifies the number of cells when animation starts. Default is 1.

     --quality num
	     Specifies subdivision quality of the spheres used to draw the cells
	     [0...5]. Default is 3.

     --minfood num
	     Food  is  ditributed randomly on the screen (Yes, the cells need to
	     eat). This parameter specifies  the  minimum  amount  of  food  per
	     pixel. Default is 5.

     --maxfood num
	     Food  is  ditributed randomly on the screen (Yes, the cells need to
	     eat). This parameter specifies  the  maximum  amount  of  food  per
	     pixel. Default is 20.

     --divideage num
	     Specifies the minimum age in frames a cell needs to have before be-
	     ing able to divide. Default is 20

     --mindist num
	     Specifies the minimum distance between cells. Default 1.4

     --delay num
	     How  long	to pause between frames.  Default is 20000, or 0.02 sec-
	     ond.

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

     --wireframe
	     Draw wireframe only.

     --keepold
	     Dead cells stay on screen.

ENVIRONMENT
     DISPLAY
	     to get the default host and display number.

     XENVIRONMENT
	     to get the name of a resource file that overrides	the  global  re-
	     sources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.

     XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
	     The window ID to use with --root.
