3 pinion - draws a scrolling sequence of interconnected gears
6 [\-display \fIhost:display.screen\fP] [\-window] [\-root] [\-install]
7 [\-visual \fIvisual\fP]
16 The \fIpinion\fP program draws an interconnected set of gears moving
20 accepts the following options:
23 Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
26 Draw on the root window.
29 Install a private colormap for the window.
31 .B \-visual \fIvisual\fP\fP
32 Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class,
33 or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.
35 .B \-delay \fIusecs\fP
36 The delay between frames of the animation, in microseconds: default 15000.
39 How fast the gears should spin; default 1.0. 2.0 means twice as fast,
40 0.5 means half as fast.
42 .B \-scroll \fIratio\fP
43 How fast the gears should scroll past the screen; default 1.0.
44 2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast.
47 How big the gears should be, on average; default 1.0.
48 2.0 means twice as large, 0.5 means half as large.
50 .B \-max\-rpm \fIinteger\fP
51 If any gear exceeds the maximum RPM, the current gear train is broken there,
52 and we start a new train. Default: 900 RPM. (At 30 FPS, that's about half
53 a rotation per frame.)
56 Render in wireframe instead of solid.
59 Display a running tally of how many frames per second are being rendered.
60 In conjunction with \fB\-delay 0\fP, this can be a useful benchmark of
66 to get the default host and display number.
69 to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources
70 stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
