DESCRIPTION
The sballs program draws an animation of
balls spinning like crazy in GL.
OPTIONS
sballs 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.
- -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.
- -object object_number
- Specify how the spheres are grouped (forming an object).
Objects are:
- 1
- tetrahedron
- 2
- cube. This is the default.
- 3
- octahedron
- 4
- dodecahedron
- 5
- icosahedron
- 6
- plane
- 7
- pyramid
- 8
- star
- -size viewport_size
- Viewport of GL scene is specified size if greater than 32 and
less than screensize. Default value is 0, meaning full screensize.
- -texture
- Show a textured background and spheres. This is the default.
- -no-texture
- Disables texturing the animation.
- -trackmouse
- Let the mouse be a joystick to change the view of the
animation. This implies -no-wander.
- -no-trackmouse
- Disables mouse tracking. This is the default.
- -wire
- Draw a wireframe rendition of the spheres.
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.
