OPTIONS

21       --visual visual
22               Specify  which  visual  to use.  Legal values are the name of a
23               visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of  a  specific
24               visual.
25
26       --window
27               Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
28
29       --root  Draw on the root window.
30
31       --window-id number
32               Draw on the specified window.
33
34       --delay number
35               Per-frame  delay,  in  microseconds.  Default: 20000 (0.02 sec‐
36               onds.).
37
38       --speed number
39               Number of frames before changing shape.  Default: 1000.

70
71       --surface henneberg (Shortcut: --henneberg)
72               Display Henneberg's minimal surface.
73
74       --surface catalan (Shortcut: --catalan)
