geodesic(6) XScreenSaver manual geodesic(6) NAME geodesic - animates a mesh geodesic sphere. SYNOPSIS geodesic [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number] [--mode mode] [--no-wander] [--no-spin] [--fps] [--delay number] [--speed number] [--count number] DESCRIPTION Animates a mesh geodesic sphere of increasing and decreasing complexity. A geodesic sphere is an icosohedron whose equilateral faces are sub-divided into non-equilateral triangles to more closely approximate a sphere. The animation shows the equilateral triangles subdivided into four coplanar equilateral triangles; and then inflated outward, causing the sub-triangles to no longer be equilateral, but to more closely approximate the surface of a sphere. 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. --mode mesh | solid | stellated | stellated2 | wire Face/edge display style. Default mesh. --wander | --no-wander Whether the object should wander around the screen. --spin | --no-spin Whether the object should spin. --fps | --no-fps Whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of the screen. --delay number Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 30000 (0.03 seconds). --speed number Animation speed. 2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast. --count number Depth (frequency) of the geodesic sphere. Default: 4. 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) COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2013 by Jamie Zawinski.
