DESCRIPTION

16       Buckminster  Fuller's map of the Earth projected onto the surface of an
17       unfolded icosahedron. It depicts the Earth's continents as one  island,
18       or nearly contiguous land masses.
19
20       This  screen  saver  animates  the  progression  of the dusk terminator
21       across the flattened globe. It includes both satellite and flat-colored
22       map  imagery,  and can load and convert other Equirectangular-projected
23       maps.

OPTIONS

26       -visual visual
27               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
28               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
29               visual.
30
31       -window Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
32
33       -root   Draw on the root window.
34
35       -delay number
36               Per-frame delay, in microseconds.  Default:  20000  (0.02  sec‐
37               onds).
38
39       -speed ratio
40               Speed  of  the animation. 0.5 means half as fast, 2 means twice
41               as fast.
42
43       -wander | -no-wander
44               Whether the object should wander  around  the  screen.  Default
45               yes.
46
47       -roll | -no-roll
48               Whether the object should roll randomly. Default yes.
49
50       -stars | -no-stars
51               Whether to display a star field. Default yes.
52
53       -grid | -no-grid
54               Whether  to overlay a latitude/longitude grid over the map. De‐
55               fault yes.
56
57       -flat   Display a flat-colored map of the Earth. This is the default.
58
59       -satellite
60               Display a day-time satellite map of the Earth.
61
62       -image file
63               An image to use for the day-time map.
64
65       -image2 file
66               An image to use for the night-time map.  The two images can  be
67               the same: the night-time one will be darkened.
68
69       -frames number
70               The  number  of frames in the day/night animation. Default 720.
71               Larger  numbers  are  smoother,  but  use  more  memory.    The
72               day/night  animation  happens if image2 is set, or if frames is
73               greater than 1.
74
75       -wireframe | -no-wireframe
76               Render in wireframe instead of solid.
77
78       -fps | -no-fps
79               Whether to show a frames-per-second display at  the  bottom  of
80               the screen.
81
