NAME

       skytentacles - 3D tentacles from the sky!

SYNOPSIS

       skytentacles  [-display	host:display.screen]  [-visual	visual]  [-window]  [-root] [-delay int] [-speed ratio] [-count int] [-slices int]
       [-length float] [-wiggliness ratio] [-flexibility ratio]  [-color  color]  [-stripe-color  color]  [-sucker-color  color]  [-segments  int]
       [-thickness ratio] [-no-smooth] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

       There is a tentacled abomination in the sky.  From above you it devours.

OPTIONS

       -visual visual
	       Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.

       -window Draw on a newly-created window.	This is the default.

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -delay int
	       Delay between frames, in microseconds.  Default 30000.

       -speed ratio
	       Less than 1 for slower, greater than 1 for faster.  Default 1.

       -count int
	       How many tentacles.  Default 8.

       -thickness ratio
	       Less than 1 for thinner tentacles, greater than 1 for thicker.  Default 1.

       -length ratio
	       Length of the tentacles.  Default 9.

       -wiggliness ratio
	       A  measure  of how bendy the tentacles are.  Smaller numbers result in smoother flexing; larger numbers make it "crinkly".  Default
	       0.35.

       -flexibility ratio
	       Another measure of how bendy the tentacles are.	Smaller numbers result in straighter tentacles;  larger  numbers  result  in  more
	       extreme curves.	Default 0.35.

       -color color

       -stripe-color color

       -sucker-color color
	       The colors of the various parts of the tentacle.  Default green with a redish stripe.

       -slices int

       -segments int
	       Larger numbers increase number of polygons in the object mesh.  Default 32.

       -no-smooth
	       Make the tentacles appear faceted instead of smooth.

       -fps    Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.

ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.

       XENVIRONMENT
	       to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.

NAME

       hypnowheel - draws overlapping, translucent spiral patterns

SYNOPSIS

       hypnowheel  [-display  host:display.screen]  [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-delay int] [-layers int] [-count int] [-twistiness float]
       [-speed float] [-wander] [-symmetric] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

       Draws a series of overlapping, translucent spiral patterns.  The tightness of their spirals fluctuates in and out.

OPTIONS

       -visual visual
	       Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.

       -window Draw on a newly-created window.	This is the default.

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -delay int
	       Delay between frames, in microseconds.  Default 20000.

       -layers int
	       How many different spirals to draw at once.  Default 4.

       -count int
	       How many arms each spiral should have.  Default 11.

       -twistiness float
	       How tightly wound the spirals can become, measured in rotations.  Default 4.0 (four times around).

       -speed ratio
	       Less than 1 for slower, greater than 1 for faster.  Default 1.

       -wander If specified, then the centers of the spirals will wander around, rather than them all having the same origin.

       -symmetric
	       If specified, then each pair of left-wrapping and right-wrapping spirals will be mirror images of each other.

       -fps    Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.

ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.

       XENVIRONMENT
	       to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
