[\-window]
[\-root]
[\-mode \fImode\fP]

.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.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP 8
.B \-visual \fIvisual\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 \-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.
.TP 8
.B \-spin | \-no-spin
Whether the object should spin.
.TP 8
.B \-fps | \-no-fps
Whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of the screen.
.TP 8
.B \-delay \fInumber\fP
Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 30000 (0.03 seconds).
.TP 8
.B \-speed \fInumber\fP
Animation speed. 2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast.
.TP 8
.B \-count \fInumber\fP
Depth (frequency) of the geodesic sphere. Default: 4.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.PP
