gltext - draws text spinning around in 3D SYNOPSIS
gltext [-display host:display.screen] [-window] [-root] [-visual visual] [-delay microseconds] [-fps] [-text string] [-wander] [-no-wander] [-spin axes] [-no-spin] DESCRIPTION
The gltext program draws some text spinning around in 3D, using a font that appears to be made of solid tubes. OPTIONS
gltext 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. -text string The text to display. This may contain newlines, but it shouldn't be very long. The default is to display the machine name and OS version. This may also be a format string acceptable to date(1) and strftime(3), in which case, it will be updated once a second. So to make this program display a spinning digital clock, you could do this: gltext -text "%A%n%d %b %Y%n%l:%M:%S %p" To include a literal `%', you must double it: `%%'. See the man page for strftime(3) for more details. -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. -wander Move the text around the screen. This is the default. -no-wander Keep the text centered on the screen. -spin Which axes around which the text should spin. The default is "XYZ", meaning rotate it freely in space. "-spin Z" would rotate the text in the plane of the screen while not rotating it into or out of the screen; etc. -no-spin Don't spin the text at all: the same as -spin "". 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. SEE ALSO
