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]  [--segments
     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 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
     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.
