plane(6)		       Svgalib User Manual			plane(6)

NAME
     plane - draw a 3 dimensional plane

SYNOPSIS
     plane

DESCRIPTION
     A	greyscale-shaded  rendered-on-the-fly turbo-prop that you can rotate and
     scale however you like.

     The demo prompts your for a mode to be used and several details. Just  fol-
     low the instructions on the screen and make your selections.

     Once the program runs you can use the following keys:

     <Q> and <A>, <Z> and <X>, <O> and <P>
	    to rotate the plane around the space axes.

     <T> and <V>, <F> and <G>, <W> and <S>
	    to move up, down, north, south, east, west. (world view only)

     <Space>
	    to toggle rendering vs. wire frame.

     <W> and <S>
	    to scale in non-world view compilation -- see plane.h

     <1> and <2>
	    to change rotation increment.

     <3> through <9>
	    to change surface density.

     <R>    to change shading method.

     <C>    to quit the program.

     <I>    to reset the rotation to the startup values.

     This  demo  is part of svgalib and can be found in the threeDkit/ subdirec-
     tory of the original svgalib distribution. However, it is not installed  in
     the system by default, s.t. it is unclear where you can find it if your sv-
     galib  was  installed  by some linux distribution. Even then, when you have
     the demo on your system, you probably won't have the  sources  s.t.  it  is
     only of limited use for you.

     In  case  of  any such problem, simply get an svgalib distribution from the
     net. You even don't need to install it. Just make in the threeDkit/  subdi-
     rectory.  As  of  this writing, svgalib-1.2.12.tar.gz is the latest version
     and can be retrieved by ftp from sunsite.unc.edu at  /pub/Linux/libs/graph-
     ics  and tsx-11.mit.edu at /pub/linux/sources/libs which will most probably
     be mirrored by a site close to you.
