DESCRIPTION

15       The sballs program draws an animation of balls spinning like  crazy  in
16       GL.
17

OPTIONS

19       sballs accepts the following options:
20
21       -window Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
22
23       -root   Draw on the root window.
24
25       -install
26               Install a private colormap for the window.
27
28       -visual visual
29               Specify  which  visual  to use.  Legal values are the name of a
30               visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of  a  specific
31               visual.
32
33       -fps    Display a running tally of how many frames per second are being
34               rendered.  In conjunction with -delay 0, this can be  a  useful
35               benchmark of your GL performance.
36
37       -object object_number
38               Specify  how  the  spheres  are  grouped  (forming  an object).
39               Objects are:
40
41       1         tetrahedron
42
43       2         cube. This is the default.
44
45       3         octahedron
46
47       4         dodecahedron
48
49       5         icosahedron
50
51       6         plane
52
53       7         pyramid
54
55       8         star
56
57       -size viewport_size
58               Viewport of GL scene is specified size if greater than  32  and
59               less  than screensize. Default value is 0, meaning full screen‐
60               size.
61
62       -texture
63               Show a textured background and spheres. This is the default.
64
65       -no-texture
66               Disables texturing the animation.
67
68       -trackmouse
69               Let the mouse be a joystick to change the view  of  the  anima‐
70               tion.  This implies -no-wander.
71
72       -no-trackmouse
73               Disables mouse tracking. This is the default.
74
75       -wire   Draw a wireframe rendition of the spheres.
76

ENVIRONMENT

78       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
79
80       XENVIRONMENT
81               to  get  the  name of a resource file that overrides the global
82               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
