SYNOPSIS

9       mirrorblob  [-display  host:display.screen]  [-visual visual] [-window]
10       [-root] [-wire] [-delay number] [-fog]  [-walls]  [-colour]  [-texture]

DESCRIPTION

15       Draws a wobbling blob, making use of alpha blending, fog, textures, and
16       lighting,  plus  a ``frames per second'' meter so that you can tell how
17       fast your graphics card is... Requires OpenGL.

OPTIONS

20       -visual visual
21               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
22               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
23               visual.
24
25       -window Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
26
27       -root   Draw on the root window.  -wire Render in wireframe instead  of
28               solid.
29
30       -delay number
31               Per-frame  delay,  in  microseconds.  Default: 10000 (0.01 sec‐
32               onds.).
33
34       -fog | -no-fog
35               Whether to enable fog.
36
37       -walls | -no-walls
38               Add walls for blob to hit.
39
40       -colour | -no-colour
41               Draw coloured blob.  If also textured, the  texture  will  have
42               color mixed in.
43
44       -texture | -no-texture
45               Whether to wrap a texture image on the blob.
46
47       -offset_texture | -no-offset_texture
48               Whether  to ofset the texture calculations to only use a region
49               of the image
50                under the blob.  This works well with a semi-transparent blob.
51
52       -blend | -no-blend
53               Whether to draw a transparent blob.  (see  also  offset_texture
54               above)
55
56       -antialias | -no-antialias
57               Whether to antialias lines.
58
59       -resolution number
60               Resolution  of  the tessellation used to calculate and draw the
61               blob.  Larger
62                numbers give a smoother blob but  increase  calculation  times
63               exponentially.
64
65       -bumps number
66               Number of bumps used to distort the blob.
67
68       -hold-time number
69               Time until loading a new image.
70
71       -fade-time number
72               Time taken to transition between images.
73
74       -zoom number
75               Size multiplier for blob.
76
77       -fps    Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
78

ENVIRONMENT

80       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
81
82       XENVIRONMENT
83               to  get  the  name of a resource file that overrides the global
84               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
