hyperball(6)
NAME
hyperball - 2d projection of a 4d object
SYNOPSIS
hyperball [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background color] [-xy float] [-xz float] [-yz float] [-xw float] [-yw float] [-zw float] [-delay usecs] [-window] [-root] [-mono] [-install] [-visual visual] [-fps]
DESCRIPTION
The hyperball program displays a wireframe projection of a hyperball
which is rotating at user-specified rates around any or all of its four
axes.
OPTIONS
hyperball accepts the following options:
-window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
-root Draw on the root window.
-mono If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
- -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 much of a delay should be introduced between steps of the animation. Default 20000, or about 0.02 seconds.
- -xw float
- -xy float
- -xz float
- -yw float
- -yz float
- -zw float
- The amount that the ball should be rotated around the specified axis at each frame of the animation, expressed in 0.001 radians. These should be small floating-point values (less than 50 works best.) Default: xy=3, xz=5, yw=10.
- -fps Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
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.
