SYNOPSIS

9       plane

DESCRIPTION

13       A  greyscale-shaded  rendered-on-the-fly turbo-prop that you can rotate
14       and scale however you like.
15
16       The demo prompts your for a mode to be used and several  details.  Just
17       follow the instructions on the screen and make your selections.
18
19       Once the program runs you can use the following keys:
20
21
22       <Q> and <A>, <Z> and <X>, <O> and <P>
23              to rotate the plane around the space axes.
24
25       <T> and <V>, <F> and <G>, <W> and <S>
26              to move up, down, north, south, east, west. (world view only)
27
28       <Space>
29              to toggle rendering vs. wire frame.
30
31       <W> and <S>
32              to scale in non-world view compilation -- see plane.h
33
34       <1> and <2>
35              to change rotation increment.
36
37       <3> through <9>
38              to change surface density.
39
40       <R>    to change shading method.
41
42       <C>    to quit the program.
43
44       <I>    to reset the rotation to the startup values.
45
46       This  demo is part of svgalib and can be found in the threeDkit/ subdi‐
47       rectory of the  original  svgalib  distribution.  However,  it  is  not
48       installed  in  the  system by default, s.t. it is unclear where you can
49       find it if your svgalib was installed by some linux distribution.  Even
50       then,  when  you  have the demo on your system, you probably won't have
51       the sources s.t. it is only of limited use for you.
52
53       In case of any such problem, simply get an  svgalib  distribution  from
54       the net. You even don't need to install it. Just make in the threeDkit/
55       subdirectory. As of this writing, svgalib-1.2.12.tar.gz is  the  latest
56       version   and   can   be  retrieved  by  ftp  from  sunsite.unc.edu  at
57       /pub/Linux/libs/graphics and tsx-11.mit.edu at  /pub/linux/sources/libs
58       which will most probably be mirrored by a site close to you.
