OPTIONS

20       -visual visual
21               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
22               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
23               visual.

65
66       -surface henneberg (Shortcut: -henneberg)
67               Display Henneberg's minimal surface.
68
69       -surface catalan (Shortcut: -catalan)
