.TH spin 6 "29 July 1997" "Svgalib (>= 1.2.11)" "Svgalib User Manual"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
spin \- test a 6-dimension mouse or pointer device with svgalib
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
.B spin
|
|
|
|
.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.
|
|
|
|
.B Button bindings are:
|
|
.br
|
|
.PD 0
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR A " - Decrease Sensitivity (Right Mouse Button)"
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR B " - Change color (Middle Mouse Button)"
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR C " - Increase Sensitivity (Left Mouse Button)"
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR D " - Increase Number of Sides"
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR E " - Decrease Number of Sides"
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR F " - Quit (" <Ctrl>-C )
|
|
.PD
|
|
.P
|
|
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.
