Overview
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.
-
--window-id number -
Draw on the specified 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
-
XENVIRONMENT -
to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
-
XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW -
The window ID to use with --root.
