kaleidocycle(6) XScreenSaver manual kaleidocycle(6) NAME kaleidocycle - draws twistable rings of tetrahedra SYNOPSIS kaleidocycle [--display host:display.screen] [--window] [--root] [--win- dow-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 occasionally 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 re- sources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
