The moebiusgears program draws a closed, interlinked chain
of rotating gears. The layout of the gears follows the path of a moebius
strip.
moebiusgears accepts the following options:
- --window
- Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.

- --delay
usecs
- The delay between frames of the animation, in microseconds. Default: 30000
(0.03 seconds.)

- --no-roll
- Don't slowly roll the moebius strip inside out.
- --count
integer
- How many gears to draw. Default: 17. Minimum 11, must be odd.
- --teeth
integer
- How many teeth to draw on each draw. Default: 15. Minimum 7, must be
odd.
- --wireframe
- Render in wireframe instead of solid.
- --fps
- Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
- DISPLAY
- to get the default host and display number.
- XENVIRONMENT
