18 Animates a mesh geodesic sphere of increasing and decreasing complexity. A
19 geodesic sphere is an icosohedron whose equilateral faces are sub-divided
20 into non-equilateral triangles to more closely approximate a sphere.
22 The animation shows the equilateral triangles subdivided into four
23 coplanar equilateral triangles; and then inflated outward, causing the
24 sub-triangles to no longer be equilateral, but to more closely
25 approximate the surface of a sphere.
28 .B \-visual \fIvisual\fP
29 Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class,
30 or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.
33 Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
36 Draw on the root window.
38 .B \-mode mesh | solid | stellated | stellated2 | wire
39 Face/edge display style. Default mesh.
41 .B \-wander | \-no-wander
42 Whether the object should wander around the screen.
45 Whether the object should spin.
48 Whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of the screen.
50 .B \-delay \fInumber\fP
51 Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 30000 (0.03 seconds).
53 .B \-speed \fInumber\fP
54 Animation speed. 2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast.
56 .B \-count \fInumber\fP
57 Depth (frequency) of the geodesic sphere. Default: 4.
62 to get the default host and display number.
65 to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources
66 stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
