.SH DESCRIPTION
Animates a mesh geodesic sphere of increasing and decreasing complexity. A
geodesic sphere is an icosohedron whose equilateral faces are sub-divided
into non-equilateral triangles to more closely approximate a sphere.

The animation shows the equilateral triangles subdivided into four
coplanar equilateral triangles; and then inflated outward, causing the
sub-triangles to no longer be equilateral, but to more closely
approximate the surface of a sphere.

.B \-window
Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
.TP 8
.B \-root
Draw on the root window.
.TP 8
.B \-mode mesh | solid | stellated | stellated2 | wire
Face/edge display style. Default mesh.
.TP 8
.B \-wander | \-no-wander
Whether the object should wander around the screen.
