       pulsar - intersecting planes, alpha blending, fog, and textures.

SYNOPSIS

       pulsar  [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window] [--root] [--window-id
       number] [--no-light] [--wire] [--delay number] [--quads number] [--image  file]  [--light]

       [--fps]

DESCRIPTION

       Draws some intersecting planes, making use of alpha blending, fog, textures, and  mipmaps,
       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.

       --window-id number
               Draw on the specified window.

       --light | --no-light
               Use Flat Coloring.

       --wire  Render in wireframe instead of solid.

       --delay number
               Per-frame delay, in microseconds.  Default: 10000 (0.01 seconds.).

       --image file
               The texture map to use.

       --quads number
               Quad Count.  1 - 50.  Default: 5.

       --light | --no-light
               Whether to enable lighting.

       --fog | --no-fog
               Whether to enable fog.

       --texture | --no-texture
               Whether to enable texturing.

       --mipmap | --no-mipmap
               Whether to enable texture mipmaps.

       --blend | --no-blend
               Whether to enable blending.

       --antialias | --no-antialias
               Whether to anti-alias lines.

       --texture_quality | --no-texture_quality
               Whether to enable texture filtering.

       --do_depth | --no-do_depth
               Whether to enable depth buffer.

       --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
