3 pinion - draws a scrolling sequence of interconnected gears
6 [\-display \fIhost:display.screen\fP] [\-window] [\-root] [\-install]
7 [\-visual \fIvisual\fP]
14 The \fIpinion\fP program draws an interconnected set of gears moving
18 accepts the following options:
21 Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
24 Draw on the root window.
27 Install a private colormap for the window.
29 .B \-visual \fIvisual\fP\fP
30 Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class,
31 or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.
33 .B \-delay \fIusecs\fP
34 The delay between frames of the animation, in microseconds: default 15000.
37 How fast the gears should spin; default 1.0. 2.0 means twice as fast,
38 0.5 means half as fast.
40 .B \-scroll \fIratio\fP
41 How fast the gears should scroll past the screen; default 1.0.
42 2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast.
45 How big the gears should be, on average; default 1.0.
46 2.0 means twice as large, 0.5 means half as large.
48 .B \-max\-rpm \fIinteger\fP
49 If any gear exceeds the maximum RPM, the current gear train is broken there,
50 and we start a new train. Default: 900 RPM. (At 30 FPS, that's about half
51 a rotation per frame.)
54 Display a running tally of how many frames per second are being rendered.
55 In conjunction with \fB\-delay 0\fP, this can be a useful benchmark of
61 to get the default host and display number.
64 to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources
65 stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
