12
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.
23
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
31 Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
32
33 --root Draw on the root window.
34
35 --window-id number
36 Draw on the specified window.
37
38 --mode mesh | solid | stellated | stellated2 | wire
39 Face/edge display style. Default mesh.
40
41 --wander | --no-wander
42 Whether the object should wander around the screen.
43
44 --spin | --no-spin
45 Whether the object should spin.
46
47 --fps | --no-fps
48 Whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of
49 the screen.
50
51 --delay number
52 Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 30000 (0.03 sec‐
53 onds).
54
55 --speed number
56 Animation speed. 2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as
57 fast.
58
59 --count number
60 Depth (frequency) of the geodesic sphere. Default: 4.
61
63 DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
64
65 XENVIRONMENT
66 to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global
67 resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
68
69 XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
70 The window ID to use with --root.
