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:
34               default 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 a running tally of how many frames per second are being
57               rendered.   In  conjunction with -delay 0, this can be a useful
58               benchmark of your GL performance.

ENVIRONMENT

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