DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

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

ENVIRONMENT

85       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
86
87       XENVIRONMENT
88               to get the name of a resource file that  overrides  the  global
89               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
