menger (6)

NAME

menger - 3D menger gasket fractal.

SYNOPSIS

menger [-display host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-delay number] [-speed number] [-depth number] [-no-wander] [-no-spin] [-spin [XYZ]] [-wireframe] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

This draws the three-dimensional variant of the recursive Menger Gasket, a cube-based fractal object analagous to the Sierpinski Tetrahedron.

OPTIONS

-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.

-window

Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.

-root

Draw on the root window.

-delay number

Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 30000 (0.03 seconds.).

-speed number

Number of frames before changing shape. Default: 150.

-depth number

Max depth to descend. Default: 3. You probably don't have enough memory for 6.

-wander | -no-wander

Whether the object should wander around the screen.

-spin [XYZ]

Around which axes should the object spin?

-no-spin

None.

-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.
