SYNOPSIS
glknots [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number] [--delay number] [--speed float] [--segments int] [--thickness float] [--duration seconds] [--no-wander] [--spin XYZ] [--wireframe] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION
Generates some twisting 3d knot patterns. Spins 'em around.

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.).

--speed number
    Larger numbers mean run faster. Default: 1.0.

--segments number
    Number of segments in each path. Default 800. Larger numbers make the curves smoother, at the expense of a higher polygon count.

--thickness float
    How thick the tubes should be. Default 0.3.

--duration seconds
    How long to leave each knot up. Default 8 seconds.

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

--spin [XYZ] | --no-spin
    Which axes, if any, to spin around on.

--wireframe | --no-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 resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.

XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
    The window ID to use with --root.
