NAME
       pinion - draws a scrolling sequence of interconnected gears

SYNOPSIS
       pinion  [-display  host:display.screen]	[-window]  [-root]  [-install]
       [-visual visual] [-delay usecs] [-scroll ratio]	[-spin	ratio]	[-size
       ratio] [-max-rpm int] [-wireframe] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION
       The  pinion  program draws an interconnected set of gears moving across
       the screen.

OPTIONS
       pinion 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.

       -delay usecs
	       The delay between frames of  the	 animation,  in	 microseconds:
	       default 15000.

       -spin ratio
	       How  fast  the gears should spin; default 1.0.  2.0 means twice
	       as fast, 0.5 means half as fast.

       -scroll ratio
	       How fast the gears should scroll past the screen; default  1.0.
	       2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast.

       -size ratio
	       How  big	 the  gears  should  be, on average; default 1.0.  2.0
	       means twice as large, 0.5 means half as large.

       -max-rpm integer
	       If any gear exceeds the maximum RPM, the current gear train  is
	       broken there, and we start a new train.	Default: 900 RPM.  (At
	       30 FPS, that's about half a rotation per frame.)

       -wireframe
	       Render in wireframe instead of solid.

       -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.
