OPTIONS

18       --visual visual
19               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
20               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
21               visual.
22
23       --window
24               Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
25
26       --root  Draw on the root window.
27
28       --window-id number
29               Draw on the specified window.
30
31       --delay number
32               Per-frame delay, in microseconds.  Default:  30000  (0.03  sec‐
33               onds.).
34
35       --speed number
36               Larger numbers mean run faster.  Default: 1.0.
37
38       --segments number
39               Number  of segments in each path.  Default 800.  Larger numbers
40               make the curves smoother, at the expense of  a  higher  polygon
41               count.
42
43       --thickness float
44               How thick the tubes should be.  Default 0.3.
45
46       --duration seconds
47               How long to leave each knot up.  Default 8 seconds.
48
49       --wander | --no-wander
50               Whether the cubes should wander around the screen.
51
52       --spin [XYZ] | --no-spin
53               Which axes, if any, to spin around on.
54
55       --wireframe | --no-wireframe
56               Render in wireframe instead of solid.
57
58       --fps   Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
59

64               to  get  the  name of a resource file that overrides the global
65               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
66
67       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
