DESCRIPTION
       The  glcells  program  draws  cells  that divide	exponentially, eat and
       eventually 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
	       being 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
	       second.

       --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
	       resources stored	in the RESOURCE_MANAGER	property.

       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
	       The window ID to	use with --root.
