DESCRIPTION
       This draws one of several three dimensional parametric surfaces.

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 number
	       Per-frame delay, in microseconds.  Default:  20000  (0.02  sec‐
	       onds.).

       -speed number
	       Number of frames before changing shape.	Default: 1000.

       -surface random (Shortcut: -random-surface)
	       Display a random surface.  This is the default.

       -surface dini (Shortcut: -dini)
	       Display Dini's surface.

       -surface enneper (Shortcut: -enneper)
	       Display Enneper's minimal surface.

       -surface kuen (Shortcut: -kuen)
	       Display the Kuen surface.

       -surface moebius (Shortcut: -moebius)
	       Display the Moebius strip.

       -surface seashell (Shortcut: -seashell)
	       Display the seashell surface.

       -surface swallowtail (Shortcut: -swallowtail)
	       Display the swallowtail catastrophe.

       -surface bohemian (Shortcut: -bohemian)
	       Display the Bohemian dome.

       -surface whitney (Shortcut: -whitney)
	       Display the Whitney umbrella.

       -surface pluecker (Shortcut: -pluecker)
	       Display Pluecker's conoid.

       -surface henneberg (Shortcut: -henneberg)
	       Display Henneberg's minimal surface.

       -surface catalan (Shortcut: -catalan)
	       Display Catalan's minimal surface.

       -surface corkscrew (Shortcut: -corkscrew)
	       Display the corkscrew surface.

       -mode random (Shortcut: -random-mode)
	       Use  random  OpenGL primitives to display the surface.  This is
	       the default.

       -mode points (Shortcut: -points)
	       Use OpenGL points to display the surface.

       -mode lines (Shortcut: -lines)
	       Use OpenGL lines to display the surface.

       -mode line-loops (Shortcut: -line-loops)
	       Use OpenGL line loops to display the surface.

       -wander | -no-wander
	       Whether to wander around the screen.

       -spin | -no-spin
	       Whether to rotate around the center of the figure.

       -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.
