NAME
       pinion -	draws a	scrolling sequence of interconnected gears

SYNOPSIS
       pinion [--display host:display.screen] [--window] [--root] [--window-id
       number][--install]  [--visual  visual] [--delay usecs] [--scroll	ratio]
       [--spin ratio] [--size ratio] [--max-rpm	int] [--wireframe] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION
       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: de-
	       fault 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
       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.

       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
	       The window ID to	use with --root.
