OPTIONS

18       -visual visual
19               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
20               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
21               visual.
22
23       -window Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
24
25       -root   Draw on the root window.
26
27       -delay int
28               Delay between frames, in microseconds.  Default 20000.
29
30       -layers int
31               How many different spirals to draw at once.  Default 4.
32
33       -count int
34               How many arms each spiral should have.  Default 11.
35
36       -twistiness float
37               How tightly wound the spirals can  become,  measured  in  rota‐
38               tions.  Default 4.0 (four times around).
39
40       -speed ratio
41               Less than 1 for slower, greater than 1 for faster.  Default 1.
42
43       -wander If  specified,  then  the  centers  of  the spirals will wander
44               around, rather than them all having the same origin.
45
46       -symmetric
47               If specified, then each pair of left-wrapping  and  right-wrap‐
48               ping spirals will be mirror images of each other.
49
50       -fps    Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
