DESCRIPTION

14       The  pinion  program draws an interconnected set of gears moving across
15       the screen.
16

OPTIONS

18       pinion accepts the following options:
19
20       -window Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
21
22       -root   Draw on the root window.
23
24       -install
25               Install a private colormap for the window.
26
27       -visual visual
28               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
29               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
30               visual.
31
32       -delay usecs
33               The delay between frames of the animation, in microseconds: de‐
34               fault 15000.
35
36       -spin ratio
37               How  fast  the gears should spin; default 1.0.  2.0 means twice
38               as fast, 0.5 means half as fast.
39
40       -scroll ratio
41               How fast the gears should scroll past the screen; default  1.0.
42               2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast.
43
44       -size ratio
45               How  big  the  gears  should  be, on average; default 1.0.  2.0
46               means twice as large, 0.5 means half as large.
47
48       -max-rpm integer
49               If any gear exceeds the maximum RPM, the current gear train  is
50               broken there, and we start a new train.  Default: 900 RPM.  (At
51               30 FPS, that's about half a rotation per frame.)
52
53       -wireframe
54               Render in wireframe instead of solid.
55
56       -fps    Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
57

ENVIRONMENT

59       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
60
61       XENVIRONMENT
62               to get the name of a resource file that  overrides  the  global
63               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
