       The  lavalite  program  displays a 3D simulation of the famous lamp of the same name.  It requires a fast
       computer with fast OpenGL support.

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.

       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
               The window ID to use with --root.

       lavalite - 3D OpenGL simulation of a Lavalite.

lavalite accepts the following options:

       --window
               Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.

       --root  Draw on the root window.

       --window-idnumber
               Draw on the specified window.

       --visualvisual
               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.

       --stylestyle
               Specify  which  model  of  lamp to draw.  Available models are: Classic, Giant, Cone, and Rocket.
               Default: random.

       --spinxyz
               Around which axes the model should auto-spin.  Defaults to "Z", meaning it rotates  horizontally,
               but otherwise pitch or roll.

       --no-spin
               Same as --spin''.

       --speedfloat
               A  number  controlling  the  frequency  at which new blobs launch: you can think of this as being
               related to the the heat of the lightbulb in the base.  Default: 0.003.

       --delayusecs
               The delay between steps of the animation; default is 30000 (0.03 second.)

       --resolutioninteger
               The size of the grid from which the mesh is created that is used to polygonize the blobs.  higher
               values will give very smooth looking blobs, at the expense of speed.  Default: 40.

               The options "-resolution 10 -no-smooth" look kind of interesting.

       --fps   Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.

       --countinteger
               The maximum number of blobs that can be in motion at once.  Default: 3.

       --no-smooth
               Turn off smoothing: the objects in the scene will be facetted.

       --wireframe
               Render all objects in wireframe instead of as solids.

       --impatient
               Provide this option if you are.  This will pre-warm the lamp, so when it  starts  up,  the  first
               frame will show a blob already halfway up the lamp.

       --lava-colorcolor
               Specifies the color of the blobbies.  Default: red.

       --fluid-colorcolor
               Specifies the color of the fluid that the blobbies float in.  Default: light blue.

       --base-colorcolor
               Specifies the color of the lamp base, and the cap on top of the bottle.  Default: very dark gray.

       --table-colorcolor
               Specifies  the  color  of  the  table that the lamp is sitting on.  Default: black (meaning it is
               invisible.)

       --fluid-texturefilename
               An image file to wrap around the glass.

               Note that on most systems, GL textures must have dimensions that are a power of two.

               Note also that colors and textures are both applied: so, if you apply  a  texture  and  it  isn't
               showing up, try specifying the corresponding color as "white".  Otherwise, the combination of the
               two might be too dark to see.

       --base-texturefilename
               An image file to wrap around the base of the lamp, and the cap on top of the bottle.

       --table-texturetexture
               An image file to spread across the table that the lamp is sitting on.
