dymaxionmap(6) XScreenSaver manual dymaxionmap(6) NAME dymaxionmap - An animation of Buckminster Fuller's unwrapped icosahedral globe. SYNOPSIS dymaxionmap [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number] [--delay number] [--speed ratio] [--no-wan- der] [--no-roll] [--no-stars] [--no-grid] [--flat] [--satellite] [--image file] [--image2 file] [--frames number] [--wireframe] [--fps] DESCRIPTION Buckminster Fuller's map of the Earth projected onto the surface of an un- folded icosahedron. It depicts the Earth's continents as one island, or nearly contiguous land masses. This screen saver animates the progression of the dusk terminator across the flattened globe. It includes both satellite and flat-colored map im- agery, and can load and convert other Equirectangular-projected maps. 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. --delay number Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 20000 (0.02 seconds). --speed ratio Speed of the animation. 0.5 means half as fast, 2 means twice as fast. --wander | --no-wander Whether the object should wander around the screen. Default yes. --roll | --no-roll Whether the object should roll randomly. Default yes. --stars | --no-stars Whether to display a star field. Default yes. --grid | --no-grid Whether to overlay a latitude/longitude grid over the map. Default yes. --flat Display a flat-colored map of the Earth. This is the default. --satellite Display a day-time satellite map of the Earth. --image file An image to use for the day-time map. --image2 file An image to use for the night-time map. The two images can be the same: the night-time one will be darkened. --frames number The number of frames in the day/night animation. Default 720. Larger numbers are smoother, but use more memory. The day/night animation happens if image2 is set, or if frames is greater than 1. --wireframe | --no-wireframe Render in wireframe instead of solid. --fps | --no-fps Whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of the screen. ENVIRONMENT DISPLAY to get the default host and display number. XENVIRONMENT to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global re- sources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property. XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW The window ID to use with --root. SEE ALSO X(1), xscreensaver(1) glplanet(6) COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2016-2018 by Jamie Zawinski.
