- --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.

- Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
- --root
- Draw on the root window.
- --window-id number
- Draw on the specified 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

- --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.
- DISPLAY
- to get the default host and display number.
- XENVIRONMENT
- to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources
