  • NAME
      mirrorblob - Draws a wobbly blob that distorts the image behind it.
  • SYNOPSIS
      mirrorblob [-display host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-wire] [-delay number] [-fog] [-walls] [-colour] [-texture] [-bgimage] [-offset_texture] [-blend] [-antialias] [-x_res number] [-y_res number] [-field_points number] [-hold_frames number] [-fps]
  • DESCRIPTION
      Draws a wobbling blob, making use of alpha blending, fog, textures, and lighting, plus a ``frames per second'' meter so that you can tell how fast your graphics card is... Requires OpenGL.
  • 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. -wire Render in wireframe instead of solid.
      -delay number
      Per-frame delay, in microseconds.  Default: 10000 (0.01 seconds.).
      -fog | -no-fog
      Whether to enable fog.
      -walls | -no-walls
      Add walls for blob to hit.
      -colour | -no-colour
      Draw coloured blob.  If also textured, the texture will have color mixed in.
      -texture | -no-texture
      Whether to wrap a texture image on the blob.
      -bgimage | -no-bgimage
      Whether to also draw the texture on the background.
      -offset_texture | -no-offset_texture
      Whether to ofset the texture calculations to only use a region of the image under the blob.  This works well when blend is enabled.
      -blend | -no-blend
      Whether to enable blending. (see also offset_texture above)
      -antialias | -no-antialias
      Whether to anti-alias lines.
      -x_res number
      Number of verticies around the middle row of the blob (see also y_res).
      -y_res number
      Number of rows of verticies used to calculatethe blob, combined with x_res to indirectly determine the number of triangles used to draw blob.  Larger numbers give a smoother blob but increase calculation times exponentially.
      -field_points number
      Number of points used to distort the blob.
      -hold_frames number
      Number of frames between changing images.
      -fade_speed number
      Speed at which fading occurs when changing images.
      -fps | -no-fps
      Whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of the screen.
  • 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.
