19 This program shows the view of an observer located inside a set of points
20 arranged to a 3D lattice. As the lattice rotates, various view-throughs appear
21 and evolve. A simple idea with interesting results.
24 accepts the following options:
27 Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
30 Draw on the root window.
33 Install a private colormap for the window.
35 .B \-visual \fIvisual\fP\fP
36 Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class,
37 or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.
39 .B \-delay \fImicroseconds\fP
40 How long to pause between frames. Default is 20000, or 0.02 second.
43 Draw in black and white. If not used, a fixed all-color scheme is chosen.
45 .B \-speed \fInumber\fP
46 The maximum speed of the rotation. The actual speed and axis change smoothly
47 for better effect. 0.5 - 10. The default is 1.0.
49 .B \-zoom \fInumber\fP
50 Size of the lattice. Ideally it should fill all the screen, but one may find
51 other values also interesting. 5 - 50. The default of 20 should do for common
54 .B \-ticks \fInumber\fP
55 The count of points drawn along every axis. 10 - 100. The default is 30.
58 Draw the points twice as big.
61 Display a running tally of how many frames per second are being rendered.
62 In conjunction with \fB\-delay 0\fP, this can be a useful benchmark of
68 to get the default host and display number.
71 to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources
72 stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
