SYNOPSIS
     hydrostat	[--display  host:display.screen]  [--visual  visual]  [--window]
     [--root] [--window-id number] [--delay number]  [--speed  number]	[--count
     number]  [--head-radius  number]  [--tentacles number] [--thickness number]
     [--length number] [--gravity number] [--current number] [--friction number]
     [--no-pulse] [--wireframe] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION
     Wiggly squid or jellyfish with many tentacles.  A muscular hydrostat  is  a
     biological  structure  used  to  move its host about, consisting of muscles
     with no skeletal support. It performs its hydraulic movement without  fluid
     in a separate compartment, as in a hydrostatic skeleton.

     --speed number
	     Animation speed.  2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast.

     --count number

     --gravity number
	     Strength of gravity.  0 - 10.0.  Default: 0.5.

     --current number
	     Strength of current.  0.0 - 10.0.	Default: 0.25.

     --friction number
	     Coefficient of friction.  0.0 - 0.1.  Default: 0.02.

     --pulse | --no-pulse
	     Whether the squid should pulse. Default true.

     --wireframe | --no-wireframe
	     Render in wireframe instead of solid.

     --fps | --no-fps
	     Whether  to  show	a frames-per-second display at the bottom of the
	     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-
