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.

OPTIONS

20       cubicgrid accepts the following options:
21
22       --window
23               Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
24
25       --root  Draw on the root window.
26
27       --window-id number
28               Draw on the specified window.
29
30       --install
31               Install a private colormap for the window.
32
33       --visual visual
34               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
35               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
36               visual.
37
38       --delay microseconds
39               How long to pause between frames.  Default is  20000,  or  0.02
40               second.
41
42       --mono  Draw in black and white.  If not used, a fixed all-color scheme
43               is chosen.
44
45       --speed number
46               The maximum speed of the rotation.  The actual speed  and  axis
47               change  smoothly  for better effect.  0.5 - 10.  The default is
48               1.0.
49
50       --zoom number
51               Size of the lattice.  Ideally it should fill  all  the  screen,
52               but  one  may find other values also interesting.  5 - 50.  The
53               default of 20 should do for common screen aspect ratios.
54
55       --ticks number
56               The count of points drawn along every axis.  10 - 100.  The de‐
57               fault is 30.
58
59       --bigdots
60               Draw the points twice as big.
61
62       --fps   Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
63
64       --symmetry Symmetry
65               Which  crystalographic  symmetry  system to use. One of "auto",
66               "cubic", or "hexagonal". "auto" will  randomly  select  between
67               symmetry systems.
68

ENVIRONMENT

70       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
71
72       XENVIRONMENT
73               to  get  the  name of a resource file that overrides the global
74               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
75
76       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
77               The window ID to use with --root.
78
