SYNOPSIS

moebiusgears [-display host:display.screen] [-window] [-root] [-install] [-visual visual] [-delay usecs] [-speed float] [-no-spin] [-no-wander] [-no-roll] [-count integer] [-teeth integer] [-wireframe] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

The moebiusgears program draws a closed, interlinked chain of rotating gears. The layout of the gears follows the path of a moebius strip.

OPTIONS

moebiusgears 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.
-delay usecs: The delay between frames of the animation, in microseconds. Default: 30000 (0.03 seconds.)
-speed float: Larger numbers mean run faster. Default: 1.0.
-no-spin: Don't rotate the object.
-no-wander: Don't wander the object around the screen.
-no-roll: Don't slowly roll the moebius strip inside out.
-count integer: How many gears to draw. Default: 17. Minimum 11, must be odd.
-teeth integer: How many teeth to draw on each draw. Default: 15. Minimum 7, must be odd.
-wireframe: Render in wireframe instead of solid.
-fps: Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.

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.
