Overview
Draws some intersecting planes, making use of alpha blending, fog, textures, and mipmaps, plus a ``frames per second'' meter so that you can tell how fast your graphics card is... Requires OpenGL.
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.
-
--window-id number -
Draw on the specified window.
-
--light | --no-light -
Use Flat Coloring.
-
--wire -
Render in wireframe instead of solid.
-
--delay number -
Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 10000 (0.01 seconds.).
-
--image file -
The texture map to use.
-
--quads number -
Quad Count. 1 - 50. Default: 5.
-
--light | --no-light -
Whether to enable lighting.
-
--fog | --no-fog -
Whether to enable fog.
-
--texture | --no-texture -
Whether to enable texturing.
-
--mipmap | --no-mipmap -
Whether to enable texture mipmaps.
-
--blend | --no-blend -
Whether to enable blending.
-
--antialias | --no-antialias -
Whether to anti-alias lines.
-
--texture_quality | --no-texture_quality -
Whether to enable texture filtering.
-
--do_depth | --no-do_depth -
Whether to enable depth buffer.
-
--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.
