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 \-delay \fInumber\fP +Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 20000 (0.02 seconds.). +.TP 8 +.B \-wireframe +Render in wireframe instead of solid. Default: render solid. +.TP 8 +.B \-fps +Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count. +.TP 8 +.B -tetra | -no-tetra +Whether to start the shape in the form of a tetrahedron. The default +is to start as a sphere. +.TP 8 +.B -color \fIcolorspec\fP +Available options for colorspec are: cycle, flowerbox, clownpuke, chrome +and #xxxxxx (i.e an (old-style) X color specification.) Default: cycle +.TP 8 +.B -spooky \fIn\fP +This option controls a kind of interesting effect obtained by +using unnormalized normal vectors (how's that for an oxymoron?) in OpenGL. +A value of zero disables the effect. Other values vary the lengths of +the normals proportionally. +Okay, so it's not very spooky. Sue me. +Default: 0 +.TP 8 +.B -complexity \fIn\fP +Valid options are 1, 2, and 3. Everything else is treated as though it +were 2, which is the default. This controls the number of polygons in +the 'thing'. A value of 1 yields 1024, and the values go up in powers +of 4. (i.e. 4096, 16384.) + note: There is an inherent lack of stability +at lower complexity, which can cause the shape to devolve into a 'flying +snotrag'. +.TP 8 +.B -speed \fIn\fP +Controls how fast the blob moves around the screen. Default: 500. +.TP 8 +.B -spherism, -hold, -distance, -damping +These options control the 'jigglyness'. The best way to explain these is +to explain how jigglypuff works. Basically, the shape is a tetrahedron +whose faces are subdivided into a number of triangles, forming a mesh. +Each of the vertices of the mesh has two different forces applied to it: +one proportional to its distance from the surface of a sphere, and one +proportional to the difference of the distance to each of its neighbors +in the mesh to a given ideal distance. In short, one tries to move the +points into the configuration of a sphere, and the other tries to push +them back into a tetrahedron. The catch is that the points have inertia, +so they always overshoot their target, and hence they oscillate. The +magnitudes of the two forces is controlled by the options 'spherism' and +\'hold'; 'distance' specifies the distance the vertices seek to keep from +their neighbors, with 500 corresponding to the size of the start tetrahedron. +e.g. if you were to give the options '-tetra -spherism 0 -distance 500', you +would end up with a stable tetrahedron. The 'damping' option can help to +keep the blob from collapsing or flying apart. The option specifies the +speed at which damping starts, hence lower values mean more damping. +Defaults: spherism: 75; hold: 800; distance: 100; damping: 500. +.TP 8 +.B -random +Probably the only parameter you'l ever need. Overrides almost all of the +parameters with random values. The values affected are: speed, spherism, +hold, distance, damping, spooky, color, wireframe and tetra. +Default: off +.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. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR X (1), +.BR xscreensaver (1) +.SH COPYRIGHT +Copyright \(co 2003 by Keith Macleod.
