cubicgrid(6) XScreenSaver manual cubicgrid(6) 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 sec- ond. --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 default 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", "cu- bic", 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 re- sources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property. XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW The window ID to use with --root.
