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 seconds.).

−−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.
