Overview
The pinion program draws an interconnected set of gears moving across the screen.
Options
pinion 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 15000.
-
--spin ratio -
How fast the gears should spin; default 1.0. 2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast.
-
--scroll ratio -
How fast the gears should scroll past the screen; default 1.0. 2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast.
-
--size ratio -
How big the gears should be, on average; default 1.0. 2.0 means twice as large, 0.5 means half as large.
-
--max-rpm integer -
If any gear exceeds the maximum RPM, the current gear train is broken there, and we start a new train. Default: 900 RPM. (At 30 FPS, that's about half a rotation per frame.)
-
--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.
