Overview
The sballs program draws an animation of balls spinning like crazy in GL.
Options
sballs 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.
-
--fps -
Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
-
--object object_number -
Specify how the spheres are grouped (forming an object). Objects are:
|
tetrahedron |
|---|---|
|
cube. This is the default. |
|
octahedron |
|
dodecahedron |
|
icosahedron |
|
plane |
|
pyramid |
|
star |
-
--size viewport_size -
Viewport of GL scene is specified size if greater than 32 and less than screensize. Default value is 0, meaning full screensize.
-
--texture -
Show a textured background and spheres. This is the default.
-
--no-texture -
Disables texturing the animation.
-
--trackmouse -
Let the mouse be a joystick to change the view of the animation. This implies --no-wander.
-
--no-trackmouse -
Disables mouse tracking. This is the default.
-
--wire -
Draw a wireframe rendition of the spheres.
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.
