DESCRIPTION

16       The  glcells  program  draws  cells  that divide exponentially, eat and
17       eventually die.
18

OPTIONS

20       glcells accepts the following options:
21
22       --window
23               Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
24
25       --root  Draw on the root window.
26
27       --window-id number
28               Draw on the specified window.
29
30       --install
31               Install a private colormap for the window.
32
33       --visual visual
34               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
35               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
36               visual.
37
38       --pause num
39               Specifies the pause at the end of the animation (all cells dead
40               or maximum amount of cells reached). Unit is in frames, default
41               20.
42
43       --maxcells num
44               Specifies the maximum number of cells  on  screen  (dead  cells
45               also count, even if invisible). Default is 800.
46
47       --radius num
48               Specifies the radius of the cells. Default is 40.
49
50       --seeds num
51               Specifies the number of cells when animation starts. Default is
52               1.
53
54       --quality num
55               Specifies subdivision quality of the spheres used to  draw  the
56               cells [0...5]. Default is 3.
57
58       --minfood num
59               Food  is ditributed randomly on the screen (Yes, the cells need
60               to eat). This parameter specifies the minimum  amount  of  food
61               per pixel. Default is 5.
62
63       --maxfood num
64               Food  is ditributed randomly on the screen (Yes, the cells need
65               to eat). This parameter specifies the maximum  amount  of  food
66               per pixel. Default is 20.
67
68       --divideage num
69               Specifies the minimum age in frames a cell needs to have before
70               being able to divide. Default is 20
71
72       --mindist num
73               Specifies the minimum distance between cells. Default 1.4
74
75       --delay num
76               How long to pause between frames.  Default is  20000,  or  0.02
77               second.
78
79       --fps   Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
80
81       --wireframe
82               Draw wireframe only.
83
84       --keepold
85               Dead cells stay on screen.
