pinion(6) XScreenSaver manual pinion(6) NAME pinion - draws a scrolling sequence of interconnected gears SYNOPSIS pinion [--display host:display.screen] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number][--install] [--visual visual] [--delay usecs] [--scroll ratio] [--spin ratio] [--size ratio] [--max-rpm int] [--wireframe] [--fps] DESCRIPTION The pinion program draws an interconnected set of gears moving across the screen. OPTIONS pinion 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 usecs The delay between frames of the animation, in microseconds: default 15000. --spin ratio How fast the gears should spin; default 1.0. 2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast. --scroll ratio How fast the gears should scroll past the screen; default 1.0. 2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast. --size ratio How big the gears should be, on average; default 1.0. 2.0 means twice as large, 0.5 means half as large. --max-rpm integer If any gear exceeds the maximum RPM, the current gear train is bro- ken there, and we start a new train. Default: 900 RPM. (At 30 FPS, that's about half a rotation per frame.) --wireframe Render in wireframe instead of solid. --fps Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count. 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 gears(6), xscreensaver(1), X(1) COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2004 by Jamie Zawinski.
