DESCRIPTION
       This draws one of several three dimensional parametric surfaces.

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:  20000  (0.02  sec-
	       onds.).

       --speed number
	       Number of frames	before changing	shape.	Default: 1000.

       --surface random	(Shortcut: --random-surface)
	       Display a random	surface.  This is the default.

       --surface dini (Shortcut: --dini)
	       Display Dini's surface.

       --surface enneper (Shortcut: --enneper)
	       Display Enneper's minimal surface.

       --surface kuen (Shortcut: --kuen)
	       Display the Kuen	surface.

       --surface moebius (Shortcut: --moebius)
	       Display the Moebius strip.

       --surface seashell (Shortcut: --seashell)
	       Display the seashell surface.

       --surface swallowtail (Shortcut:	--swallowtail)
	       Display the swallowtail catastrophe.

       --surface bohemian (Shortcut: --bohemian)
	       Display the Bohemian dome.

       --surface whitney (Shortcut: --whitney)
	       Display the Whitney umbrella.

       --surface pluecker (Shortcut: --pluecker)
	       Display Pluecker's conoid.

       --surface henneberg (Shortcut: --henneberg)
	       Display Henneberg's minimal surface.

       --surface catalan (Shortcut: --catalan)
	       Display Catalan's minimal surface.

       --surface corkscrew (Shortcut: --corkscrew)
	       Display the corkscrew surface.

       --mode random (Shortcut:	--random-mode)
	       Use  random  OpenGL primitives to display the surface.  This is
	       the default.

       --mode points (Shortcut:	--points)
	       Use OpenGL points to display the	surface.

       --mode lines (Shortcut: --lines)
	       Use OpenGL lines	to display the surface.

       --mode line-loops (Shortcut: --line-loops)
	       Use OpenGL line loops to	display	the surface.

       --wander	| --no-wander
	       Whether to wander around	the screen.

       --spin |	--no-spin
	       Whether to rotate around	the center of the figure.

       --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
	       resources stored	in the RESOURCE_MANAGER	property.

       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
	       The window ID to	use with --root.
