spin(6)			      Svgalib User Manual		       spin(6)

NAME
       spin - test a 6-dimension mouse or pointer device with svgalib

SYNOPSIS
       spin

DESCRIPTION
       Another	mouse  test program.  This is the first svgalib program to use
       the 6-dimensional mouse routines.  It draws a wireframe spheroid on the
       screen which can be moved left/right, up/down, in/out, or rotated along
       the x, y, or z axes.

       Button bindings are:
       A - Decrease Sensitivity	      (Right Mouse Button)
       B - Change color		      (Middle Mouse Button)
       C - Increase Sensitivity	      (Left Mouse Button)
       D - Increase Number of Sides
       E - Decrease Number of Sides
       F - Quit			      (<Ctrl>-C)

       If you only have a two dimensional mouse with three  or	fewer  buttons
       you  will  only be able to move the mouse in two dimensions (left/right
       and in/out) and will not be able to move up/down or spin the  spheroid.
       Note:  the  initial  mouse  sensitivity	is  optimised for the Spacetec
       series of controllers, which are much more  sensitive  than  the	 usual
       mouse.	Increasing the sensitivity is advised for users of other types
       of devices.

       The demo works always in mode 320x200x256. It prompts your for an inte‐
       ger,  the number of sides the sphere has (the higher the smoother looks
       the spere).

       This demo is part of svgalib and can be found in the  demos/  subdirec‐
       tory of the original svgalib distribution. However, it is not installed
       in the system by default, s.t. it is unclear where you can find	it  if
       your  svgalib was installed by some linux distribution. Even then, when
       you have the demo on your system, you probably won't have  the  sources
       s.t. it is only of limited use for you.

       In  case	 of  any such problem, simply get an svgalib distribution from
       the net. You even don't need to install it. Just	 make  in  the	demos/
       subdirecty.  As	of  this  writing, svgalib-1.2.12.tar.gz is the latest
       version	and  can  be  retrieved	 by  ftp   from	  sunsite.unc.edu   at
       /pub/Linux/libs/graphics	 and tsx-11.mit.edu at /pub/linux/sources/libs
       which will most probably be mirrored by a site close to you.

AUTHOR
       This  manual  page  was	edited by Michael Weller <eowmob@exp-math.uni-
       essen.de>. The exact source of the referenced demo as well  as  of  the
       original documentation is unknown.

       It is very likely that both are at least to some extent are due to Harm
       Hanemaayer <H.Hanemaayer@inter.nl.net>.

       Occasionally this might be wrong. I hereby asked to be excused  by  the
       original author and will happily accept any additions or corrections to
       this first version of the svgalib manual.
