hypercube(6)

NAME
hypercube - 2d projection of a 4d object

SYNOPSIS
hypercube [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background color] [-color[0-7] color] [-xy float] [-xz float] [-yz float] [-xw float] [-yw float] [-zw float] [-observer-z int] [-delay usecs] [-window] [-root] [-mono] [-install] [-visual visual]

DESCRIPTION
The hypercube program displays a wireframe projection of a hypercube which is rotating at user-specified rates around any or all of its four axes.

OPTIONS
hypercube accepts the following options:

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

-root
    Draw on the root window.

-mono
    If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.

-install
    Install a private colormap for the window.

-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.

-delay microseconds
    How much of a delay should be introduced between steps of the animation. Default 100000, or about 1/10th second.

-observer-z int
    How far away the observer is from the center of the cube (the cube is one unit per side.) Default 5.

-color0 color

-color1 color

-color2 color

-color3 color

-color4 color

-color5 color

-color6 color

-color7 color
    The colors used to draw the line segments bordering the eight faces of the cube. Some of the faces have only two of their border-lines drawn in the specified color, and some have all four.

-xw float

-xy float

-xz float

-yw float

-yz float

-zw float
    The amount that the cube should be rotated around the specified axis at each frame of the animation, expressed in 0.001 radians. These should be small floating-point values (less than 50 works best.) Default: xy=3, xz=5, yw=10.

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.
