Segments are occasionally inserted or removed. .SH OPTIONS .I kaleidocycle accepts the following options: .TP 8 .B \-window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default. .TP 8 .B \-root Draw on the root window. .TP 8 .B \-install Install a private colormap for the window. .TP 8 .B \-visual \fIvisual\fP\fP 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. .TP 8 .B \-count \fInumber\fP The initial number of segments. Default 16. Must be 8 or greater, and an even number. .TP 8 .B \-speed \fInumber\fP Adjust the animation speed. 0.5 for half as fast, 2.0 for twice as fast. .TP 8 .B \-wander Move the text around the screen. This is the default. .TP 8 .B \-no\-wander Keep the text centered on the screen. .TP 8 .B \-spin Which axes around which the text should spin. The default is "Z", meaning rotate the object the plane of the screen only. .TP 8 .B \-no\-spin Don't spin the text at all: the same as \fB\-spin ""\fP. .TP 8 .B \-wireframe Render in wireframe instead of solid. .TP 8 .B \-fps Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count. .SH ENVIRONMENT .PP .TP 8 .B DISPLAY to get the default host and display number. .TP 8 .B XENVIRONMENT to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property. .SH SEE ALSO .BR X (1), .BR xscreensaver (1) .SH COPYRIGHT Copyright \(co 2001-2013 by Jamie Zawinski.
