DESCRIPTION

14       Animates  a  mesh geodesic sphere of increasing and decreasing complex‐
15       ity. A geodesic sphere is an icosohedron whose  equilateral  faces  are
16       sub-divided  into non-equilateral triangles to more closely approximate
17       a sphere.
18
19       The animation shows the  equilateral  triangles  subdivided  into  four
20       coplanar  equilateral triangles; and then inflated outward, causing the
21       sub-triangles to no longer be equilateral, but to more closely approxi‐
22       mate the surface of a sphere.

OPTIONS

25       -visual visual
26               Specify  which  visual  to use.  Legal values are the name of a
27               visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of  a  specific
28               visual.
29
30       -window Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
31
32       -root   Draw on the root window.
33
34       -mode mesh | solid | stellated | stellated2 | wire
35               Face/edge display style. Default mesh.
36
37       -wander | -no-wander
38               Whether the object should wander around the screen.
39
40       -spin | -no-spin
41               Whether the object should spin.
42
43       -fps | -no-fps
44               Whether  to  show  a frames-per-second display at the bottom of
45               the screen.
46
47       -delay number
48               Per-frame delay, in microseconds.  Default:  30000  (0.03  sec‐
49               onds).
50
51       -speed number
52               Animation  speed.   2.0  means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as
53               fast.
54
55       -count number
56               Depth (frequency) of the geodesic sphere.  Default: 4.
57

ENVIRONMENT
