NAME

       cubicgrid - rotating 3D lattice seen from inside

SYNOPSIS

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

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.

       -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.

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.

NAME

       superquadrics - morphing 3d shapes.

SYNOPSIS

       superquadrics  [-display  host:display.screen]  [-visual  visual]  [-window]  [-root]  [-delay  number] [-spinspeed number] [-count number]
       [-cycles number] [-wireframe] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

       Ed Mackey reports that he wrote the first version of this program in BASIC on a Commodore 64 in 1987, as a 320x200 black  and  white  wire-
       frame. Now it is GL and has specular reflections.

OPTIONS

       -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.

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

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -delay number
	       Per-frame delay, in microseconds.  Default: 40000 (0.04 seconds.).

       -spinspeed number
	       0.1 - 15.0.  Default: 5.0.

       -count number
	       0 - 100.  Default: 25.

       -cycles number
	       0 - 100.  Default: 40.

       -wireframe
	       Render in wireframe instead of solid.

       -fps | -no-fps
	       Whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of the screen.

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.
