NAME
lament - animates the Lament Configuration
SYNOPSIS
lament [-display
host:display.screen] [-window] [-root] [-install] [-visual
visual] [-delay microseconds] [-fps] [-texture]
[-no-texture] [-wireframe]
DESCRIPTION
The lament program draws an animation of
a particular puzzle box repeatedly solving itself.
OPTIONS
lament accepts the following options:
- -window
- Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
- -root
- Draw on the root 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.
- -texture
- Use texture maps. This is the default.
- -no-texture
- Do not use texture maps. This is boring and wrong.
- -wireframe
- Only draw outlines.
- -delay microseconds
- How long to pause between frames. Default is 20000, or 0.02
second.
- -fps
- Display a running tally of how many frames per second are being
rendered. In conjunction with -delay 0, this can be a useful
benchmark of your GL performance.
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.
BUGS
This hack is glacially slow on machines lacking
hardware texture support.
Occasionally opens doors, admitting theologians of the Order of
the Gash.
