DESCRIPTION

15       This program shows the view of an observer  located  inside  a  set  of
16       points arranged to a 3D lattice.  As the lattice rotates, various view-
17       throughs appear and evolve.  A simple idea with interesting results.
18

OPTIONS

20       cubicgrid accepts the following options:
21
22       -window Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
23
24       -root   Draw on the root window.
25
26       -install
27               Install a private colormap for the window.
28
29       -visual visual
30               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
31               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
32               visual.
33
34       -delay microseconds
35               How long to pause between frames.  Default is  20000,  or  0.02
36               second.
37
38       -mono   Draw in black and white.  If not used, a fixed all-color scheme
39               is chosen.
40
41       -speed number
42               The maximum speed of the rotation.  The actual speed  and  axis
43               change  smoothly  for better effect.  0.5 - 10.  The default is
44               1.0.
45
46       -zoom number
47               Size of the lattice.  Ideally it should fill  all  the  screen,
48               but  one  may find other values also interesting.  5 - 50.  The
49               default of 20 should do for common screen aspect ratios.
50
51       -ticks number
52               The count of points drawn along every axis.  10 - 100.  The de‐
53               fault is 30.
54
55       -bigdots
56               Draw the points twice as big.
57
58       -fps    Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
59
60       -symmetry ymmetry
61               Which  crystalographic  symmetry  system to use. One of "auto",
62               "cubic", or "hexagonal". "auto" will  randomly  select  between
63               symmetry systems.
64

ENVIRONMENT

66       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
67
68       XENVIRONMENT
69               to  get  the  name of a resource file that overrides the global
70               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
