SYNOPSISgltext [-display host:display.screen] [-window] [-root]
[-visual visual] [-delay microseconds] [-fps] [-text
string] [-wander] [-no-wander] [-spin axes] [-no-spin]
DESCRIPTION
The gltext program draws some text spinning around in 3D,
using a font that appears to be made of solid tubes.
OPTIONSgltext accepts the following options:
-window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the
default.
-root Draw on the root 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.
-text string
The text to display. This may contain newlines,
but it shouldn't be very long. The default is to
display the machine name and OS version.
This may also be a format string acceptable to
date(1) and strftime(3), in which case, it will be
updated once a second. So to make this program
display a spinning digital clock, you could do
this:
gltext-text "%A%n%d %b %Y%n%l:%M:%S %p"
To include a literal `%', you must double it:
`%%'.
See the man page for strftime(3) for more details.
-fps Display a running tally of how many frames per
second are being rendered. In conjunction with
-delay 0, this can be a useful benchmark of your
GL performance.
-wander Move the text around the screen. This is the
default.
-no-wander
Keep the text centered on the screen.
-spin Which axes around which the text should spin. The
default is "XYZ", meaning rotate it freely in
space. "-spin Z" would rotate the text in the
plane of the screen while not rotating it into or
out of the screen; etc.
-no-spin
Don't spin the text at all: the same as -spin "".
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_MAN
AGER property.
