DESCRIPTION
Draws a wobbling blob, making use of alpha blending, fog,
textures, and lighting, plus a ``frames per second'' meter so that you can
tell how fast your graphics card is... Requires OpenGL.
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.
-wire
Render in wireframe instead of solid.
- -delay number
-
Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 10000 (0.01 seconds.).
- -fog | -no-fog
-
Whether to enable fog.
- -walls | -no-walls
-
Add walls for blob to hit.
- -colour | -no-colour
-
Draw coloured blob. If also textured, the texture will have color mixed in.
- -texture | -no-texture
-
Whether to wrap a texture image on the blob.
- -offset_texture | -no-offset_texture
-
Whether to ofset the texture calculations to only use a region of the image
under the blob. This works well with a semi-transparent blob.
- -blend | -no-blend
-
Whether to draw a transparent blob. (see also offset_texture above)
- -antialias | -no-antialias
-
Whether to antialias lines.
- -resolution number
-
Resolution of the tessellation used to calculate and draw the blob. Larger
numbers give a smoother blob but increase calculation times exponentially.
- -bumps number
-
Number of bumps used to distort the blob.
- -hold-time number
-
Time until loading a new image.
- -fade-time number
-
Time taken to transition between images.
- -zoom number
-
Size multiplier for blob.
- -fps
-
Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
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.
