.SH 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.
|

|

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
|
||
|
|
integer, 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
|
||
|
|
.I demos/
|
||
|
|
subdirectory 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
|
||
|
|
.B make
|
||
|
|
in the
|
||
|
|
.I demos/
|
||
|
|
subdirecty. As of this writing,
|
||
|
|
.I svgalib-1.2.12.tar.gz
|
||
|
|
is the latest version and can be retrieved by ftp from
|
||
|
|
.IR "sunsite.unc.edu" " at " "/pub/Linux/libs/graphics"
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.IR "tsx-11.mit.edu" " at " "/pub/linux/sources/libs"
|
||
|
|
which will most probably be mirrored by a site close to you.
