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
21               Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
22
23       --root  Draw on the root window.
24
25       --window-id number
26               Draw on the specified window.
27
28       --install
29               Install a private colormap for the window.
30
31       --visual visual
32               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
33               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
34               visual.
35
36       --delay usecs
37               The delay between frames of the animation, in microseconds: de‐
38               fault 15000.
39
40       --spin ratio
41               How  fast  the gears should spin; default 1.0.  2.0 means twice
42               as fast, 0.5 means half as fast.
43
44       --scroll ratio
45               How fast the gears should scroll past the screen; default  1.0.
46               2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast.
47
48       --size ratio
49               How  big  the  gears  should  be, on average; default 1.0.  2.0
50               means twice as large, 0.5 means half as large.
51
52       --max-rpm integer
53               If any gear exceeds the maximum RPM, the current gear train  is
54               broken there, and we start a new train.  Default: 900 RPM.  (At
55               30 FPS, that's about half a rotation per frame.)
56
57       --wireframe
58               Render in wireframe instead of solid.
59
60       --fps   Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
61

ENVIRONMENT

63       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
64
65       XENVIRONMENT
66               to get the name of a resource file that  overrides  the  global
67               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
68
69       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
70               The window ID to use with --root.
