NAME
       gltext - draws text spinning around in 3D

SYNOPSIS
       gltext  [-display  host:display.screen] [-window] [-root] [-visual vis‐
       ual] [-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.

OPTIONS
       gltext 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 "@(#) gltext.man 1.1@(#)n%d %b 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_MANAGER property.
