2 2D projection of a 4d object
6 $ hypercube [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color]
7 [-background color] [-color[0-7] color] [-xy float] [-xz float]

9 [-observer-z int] [-window] [-root] [-mono] [-delay usecs]
12 The hypercube program displays a wireframe projection of a hypercube
13 which is rotating at user-specified rates around any or all of its four axes.
16 hypercube accepts the following options:
19 Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
22 Draw on the root window.
25 If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
28 How much of a delay should be introduced between steps of the animation.
29 Default 100000, or about 1/10th second.
32 How far away the observer is from the center of the cube (the cube is one
33 unit per side.) Default 5.
50 The colors used to draw the line segments bordering the eight faces of
51 the cube. Some of the faces have only two of their border-lines drawn in
52 the specified color, and some have all four.
65 The amount that the cube should be rotated around the specified axis at
66 each frame of the animation, expressed in radians. These should be small
67 floating-point values (less than 0.05 works best.) Default: xy=0.01,
73 to get the default host and display number.
76 to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources
77 stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
