.SH DESCRIPTION
Generates some twisting 3d knot patterns.  Spins 'em around.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP 8
.B \-\-visual \fIvisual\fP
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.
.TP 8
.B \-\-window
Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
.TP 8
.B \-\-root
Draw on the root window.
.TP 8
.B \-\-window\-id \fInumber\fP
Draw on the specified window.
.TP 8
.B \-\-delay \fInumber\fP
Per-frame delay, in microseconds.  Default: 30000 (0.03 seconds.).
.TP 8
.B \-\-speed \fInumber\fP
Larger numbers mean run faster.  Default: 1.0.
.TP 8
.B \-\-segments \fInumber\fP
Number of segments in each path.  Default 800.  Larger numbers make the
curves smoother, at the expense of a higher polygon count.
.TP 8
.B \-\-thickness \fIfloat\fP
How thick the tubes should be.  Default 0.3.
.TP 8
.B \-\-duration \fIseconds\fP
How long to leave each knot up.  Default 8 seconds.
.TP 8
.B \-\-wander | \-\-no-wander
Whether the cubes should wander around the screen.
.TP 8
.B \-\-spin [XYZ] | \-\-no-spin
Which axes, if any, to spin around on.
.TP 8
.B \-\-wireframe | \-\-no-wireframe
Render in wireframe instead of solid.
.TP 8
.B \-\-fps
Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.PP
.TP 8
.B DISPLAY
to get the default host and display number.
.TP 8
.B XENVIRONMENT
to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources
stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
.TP 8
.B XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
The window ID to use with \fI\-\-root\fP.
