spheremonics(6)

NAME
spheremonics - 3d spherical harmonic shapes.

SYNOPSIS
spheremonics [-display host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-delay number] [-duration number] [-resolution number] [-wander] [-no-spin] [-spin [XYZ]] [-wireframe] [-no-smooth] [-no-grid] [-bbox] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION
These closed objects are commonly called spherical harmonics, although they are only remotely related to the mathematical definition found in the solution to certain wave functions, most notable the eigenfunctions of angular momentum operators.

OPTIONS

-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.

-window
    Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.

-root
    Draw on the root window.

-delay number
    Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 30000 (0.03 seconds.).

-duration number
    Duration. 5 - 1000. Default: 100.

-resolution number
    Resolution. 5 - 100. Default: 64.

-wander | -no-wander
    Whether the object should wander around the screen.

-spin [XYZ]
    Around which axes should the object spin?

-no-spin
    Don't spin.

-wireframe
    Render in wireframe instead of solid.

-smooth | -no-smooth
    Smoothed Lines. Boolean.

-grid | -no-grid
    Draw Grid. Boolean.

-bbox | -no-bbox
    Draw Bounding Box. Boolean.

-fps | -no-fps
    Whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of the screen.

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.
