NAME

cubicgrid - rotating 3D lattice seen from inside

SYNOPSIS

cubicgrid [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual]
[--window] [--root] [--window-id number] [--install] [--delay
microseconds] [--mono] [--speed number] [--zoom number] [--ticks
number] [--bigdots] [--fps] [--symmetry crystalographic symmetry]

DESCRIPTION

This program shows the view of an observer located inside a set of
points arranged to a 3D lattice. As the lattice rotates, various
view-throughs appear and evolve. A simple idea with interesting
results.

OPTIONS

cubicgrid accepts the following options:

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

--root Draw on the root window.

--window-id number
Draw on the specified window.

--install
Install a private colormap for the window.

--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.

--delay microseconds
How long to pause between frames. Default is 20000, or 0.02
second.

--mono Draw in black and white. If not used, a fixed all-color
scheme is chosen.

--speed number
The maximum speed of the rotation. The actual speed and axis
change smoothly for better effect. 0.5 - 10. The default is
1.0.

--zoom number
Size of the lattice. Ideally it should fill all the screen,
but one may find other values also interesting. 5 - 50. The
default of 20 should do for common screen aspect ratios.

--ticks number
The count of points drawn along every axis. 10 - 100. The
default is 30.

--bigdots
Draw the points twice as big.

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

--symmetry Symmetry
Which crystalographic symmetry system to use. One of "auto",
"cubic", or "hexagonal". "auto" will randomly select between
symmetry systems.

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.

XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
The window ID to use with --root.
