DESCRIPTION

       The sballs program draws an animation of balls spinning like crazy in GL.

OPTIONS

       sballs accepts the following options:

       --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.

       --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.

       --fps   Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.

       --object object_number
               Specify how the spheres are grouped (forming an object).  Objects are:

       1         tetrahedron

       2         cube. This is the default.

       3         octahedron

       4         dodecahedron

       5         icosahedron

       6         plane

       7         pyramid

       8         star

       --size viewport_size
               Viewport of GL scene is specified size if greater than 32 and less than screensize. Default value
               is 0, meaning full screensize.

       --texture
               Show a textured background and spheres. This is the default.

       --no-texture
               Disables texturing the animation.

       --trackmouse
               Let the mouse be a joystick to change the view of the animation.  This implies --no-wander.

       --no-trackmouse
               Disables mouse tracking. This is the default.

       --wire  Draw a wireframe rendition of the spheres.

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.

       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
               The window ID to use with --root.
