NAME
       glplanet - rotating 3d texture-mapped planet.

SYNOPSIS
       glplanet [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window]
       [--root] [--window-id number] [--delay number] [--image file] [--image2
       file] [--mode string] [--resolution number] [--wireframe] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION
       Draws a planet bouncing around in space.  The built-in images are day
       and night maps of the Earth, but you can wrap any Equirectangular-
       projected map onto the sphere, e.g., the planetary textures included
       with ssystem.

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.

       --window-id number
               Draw on the specified window.

       --delay number
               Per-frame delay, in microseconds.  Default: 20000 (0.02
               seconds.).

       --image file
               The day texture map to wrap around the planet's surface.

       --image2 file
               The night texture map to wrap around the planet's surface.  The
               two will be blended together at the dusk terminator.

       --mode globe
               All is right with the world.

       --mode equirectangular
               Wat.

       --mode mercator
               Good day, Sir. I said GOOD DAY.

       --resolution
               The resolution of the planetary mesh. Default: 128.

       --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.

       XENVIRONMENT
               to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global
               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.

       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
               The window ID to use with --root.
