NAME
     spheremonics - 3d spherical harmonic shapes.

SYNOPSIS
     spheremonics  [--display  host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window]
     [--root] [--window-id number] [--delay number] [--duration number] [--reso-
     lution number] [--wander] [--no-spin] [--spin [XYZ]]  [--wireframe]  [--no-
     smooth] [--no-grid] [--bbox] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION
     These closed objects are commonly called spherical harmonics, although they
     are only remotely related to the mathematical definition found in the solu-
     tion  to certain wave functions, most notable the eigenfunctions of angular
     momentum operators.

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.).

     --duration number
	     Duration.	5 - 1000.  Default: 100.

     --resolution number
	     Resolution.  5 - 100.  Default: 64.

     --wander | --no-wander
	     Whether the object should wander around the screen.

     --spin [XYZ]
	     Around which axes should the object spin?

     --no-spin
	     Don't spin.

     --wireframe
	     Render in wireframe instead of solid.

     --smooth | --no-smooth
	     Smoothed Lines.  Boolean.

     --grid | --no-grid
	     Draw Grid.  Boolean.

     --bbox | --no-bbox
	     Draw Bounding Box.  Boolean.

     --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.
