The hyperball program displays a wireframe projection of a hyperball
which is rotating at user-specified rates around any or all of its four axes.
OPTIONS
hyperball
accepts the following options:
-window
Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
-root
Draw on the root window.
-mono
If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
-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 much of a delay should be introduced between steps of the animation.
Default 100000, or about 1/10th second.
-observer-z int
How far away the observer is from the center of the cube (the cube is one
unit per side.) Default 5.
-xw float
-xy float
-xz float
-yw float
-yz float
-zw float
The amount that the ball should be rotated around the specified axis at
each frame of the animation, expressed in radians. These should be small
floating-point values (less than 0.05 works best.) Default: xy=0.01,
xz=0.005, yw=0.01.
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.
