A new solid is chosen every few seconds. + +There are 75 uniform polyhedra, plus an inifinite number of +prisms and antiprisms: + + * Convex Uniform Polyhedra: + * Platonic solids (5) + * Archimedean solids (13) + * Convex prisms and antiprisms (2 infinite families) + * Nonconvex Uniform Polyhedra: + * Kepler-Poinsot polyhedra (4) + * Nonconvex uniform polyhedra (53) + * Nonconvex prisms, antiprisms, and crossed antiprisms + (3 infinite families) + +Representative samples of the prism sets brings the total to 80 solids. +Including the \fIdual\fP of each brings the total up to 160. (To +create the "dual" of a polyhedron, faces are replaced with vertices, +and vertices with faces.) +.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 \-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 \-duration \fIseconds\fP +How long before switching to a new polyhedron. Default 12 seconds. +.TP 8 +.B \-wander | \-no-wander +Whether the objects should wander around the screen. +.TP 8 +.B \-spin [XYZ] | \-no-spin +Which axes, if any, to spin around on. +.TP 8 +.B \-titles | \-no-titles +Whether to display text describing each object. +.TP 8 +.B \-which \fIobject-name\fP +Display only one particular object, identified by number, name, or +Whthoff symbol. +.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 KEY BINDINGS +When running in a window, you can rotate the object with the mouse. +Also, the following keystrokes are defined: +.TP 12 +.B SPC \fIor\fP TAB +Select a new polyhedron at random. +.TP 12 +.B + \fIor\fP > +Select the next-higher-numbered polyhedron. +.TP 12 +.B - \fIor\fP < +Select the next-lower-numbered polyhedron. +.TP 12 +.B ESC \fIor\fP ^C +Quit. +.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 1991-2002 Dr. Zvi Har'El. + +Copyright \(co 2004 Jamie Zawinski.
