NAME
       dymaxionmap  -  An animation of Buckminster Fuller's unwrapped icosahe-
       dral globe.

SYNOPSIS
       dymaxionmap [--display host:display.screen] [--visual  visual]  [--win-
       dow]  [--root]  [--window-id  number]  [--delay number] [--speed	ratio]
       [--no-wander] [--no-roll] [--no-stars] [--no-grid]  [--flat]  [--satel-
       lite]  [--image	file]  [--image2 file] [--frames number] [--wireframe]
       [--fps]

DESCRIPTION
       Buckminster Fuller's map	of the Earth projected onto the	surface	of  an
       unfolded	 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  imagery,  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  sec-
	       onds).

       --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. De-
	       fault 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
	       resources stored	in the RESOURCE_MANAGER	property.

       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
	       The window ID to	use with --root.
