NAME
       cubicgrid - rotating 3D lattice seen from inside

SYNOPSIS
       cubicgrid  [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window]
       [--root]	 [--window-id  number]	[--install]   [--delay	 microseconds]
       [--mono]	 [--speed number] [--zoom number] [--ticks number] [--bigdots]
       [--fps] [--symmetry crystalographic symmetry]

DESCRIPTION
       This program shows the view of an observer  located  inside  a  set  of
       points arranged to a 3D lattice.	 As the	lattice	rotates, various view-
       throughs	appear and evolve.  A simple idea with interesting results.

OPTIONS
       cubicgrid 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 microseconds
	       How  long  to  pause between frames.  Default is	20000, or 0.02
	       second.

       --mono  Draw in black and white.	 If not	used, a	fixed all-color	scheme
	       is chosen.

       --speed number
	       The maximum speed of the	rotation.  The actual speed  and  axis
	       change  smoothly	 for better effect.  0.5 - 10.	The default is
	       1.0.

       --zoom number
	       Size of the lattice.  Ideally it	should fill  all  the  screen,
	       but  one	 may find other	values also interesting.  5 - 50.  The
	       default of 20 should do for common screen aspect	ratios.

       --ticks number
	       The count of points drawn along every axis.  10 - 100.  The de-
	       fault is	30.

       --bigdots
	       Draw the	points twice as	big.

       --fps   Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.

       --symmetry Symmetry
	       Which crystalographic symmetry system to	use.  One  of  "auto",
	       "cubic",	 or  "hexagonal".  "auto" will randomly	select between
	       symmetry	systems.

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.
