DESCRIPTION

16       Simulates  a split-flap display, an old style of electromechanical sign
17       as seen in airports and train stations,  and  commonly  used  in  alarm
18       clocks in the 1960s and 1970s.

OPTIONS

21       --visual visual
22               Specify  which  visual  to use.  Legal values are the name of a
23               visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of  a  specific
24               visual.
25
26       --window
27               Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
28
29       --root  Draw on the root window.
30
31       --window-id number
32               Draw on the specified window.
33
34       --delay number
35               Per-frame  delay,  in  microseconds.  Default: 20000 (0.02 sec‐
36               onds).
37
38       --speed number
39               Animation speed.  2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5  means  half  as
40               fast.
41
42       --width number
43               Columns of the display.  Default: 22.
44
45       --height number
46               Rows of the display. Default: 8.
47
48       --mode clock12
49               Display a 12-hour clock.
50
51       --mode clock24
52               Display a 24-hour clock.
53
54       --front | --no-front
55               When  spinning,  never  spin all the way around or upside down:
56               always face mostly forward so that the text is easily readable.
57               This is the default.
58
59       --no-front
60               Allow spins to go all the way around or upside down.
61
62       --wander | --no-wander
63               Whether the object should wander around the screen.
64
65       --spin  Which  axes  around which the text should spin.  The default is
66               "XYZ", meaning rotate it freely in space.  "--spin Z" would ro‐
67               tate  the text in the plane of the screen while not rotating it
68               into or out of the screen; etc.
69
70       --wireframe | --no-wireframe
71               Render in wireframe instead of solid.
72
73       --fps | --no-fps
74               Whether to show a frames-per-second display at  the  bottom  of
75               the screen.
76
