       sballs - draws balls spinning like crazy in GL

SYNOPSIS

       sballs  [-display  host:display.screen]	[-window]  [-root]  [-visual  visual]  [-delay	microseconds] [-object object_number] [-count num-
       ber_of_spheres] [-cycles sphere_speed] [-size viewport_size] [-texture]	[-no-texture]  [-wireframe]  [-no-wireframe]  [-trackmouse]  [-no-
       trackmouse] [-fps] [-no-fps]

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

       sballs accepts the following options:

       -window Draw on a newly-created window.	This is the default.

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -install
	       Install a private colormap for the window.

       -visual visual
	       Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.

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

       -object object_number
	       Specify how the spheres are grouped (forming an object).  Objects are:

       1	 tetrahedron

       2	 cube. This is the default.

       3	 octahedron

       4	 dodecahedron

       5	 icosahedron

       6	 plane

       7	 pyramid

       8	 star

       -count number_of_spheres
	       Specify how much spheres are drawn in the selected object.

       -size viewport_size
	       Viewport of GL scene is specified size if greater than 32 and less than screensize. Default value is 0, meaning full screensize.

       -count number_of_particles
	       Specify how much fire particles are drawn. A very special case is 0 wich means that you get rain !

       -texture
	       Show a textured background and spheres. This is the default.

       -no-texture
	       Disables texturing the animation.

       -trackmouse
	       Let the mouse be a joystick to change the view of the animation.  This implies -no-wander.

       -no-trackmouse
	       Disables mouse tracking. This is the default.

       -wire   Draw a wireframe rendition of the spheres.

ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.

       XENVIRONMENT
	       to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
