NAME
       splitflap - a simulation of a split-flap electromechanical display.

SYNOPSIS
       splitflap [-display host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window]
       [-root] [-delay microseconds] [-speed float] [-width columns] [-height
       rows] [-mode text | clock12 | clock24] [-no-wander] [-spin axes]
       [-no-spin] [-front] [-no-front] [-wireframe] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION
       Simulates a split-flap display, an old style of electromechanical sign
       as seen in airports and train stations, and commonly used in alarm
       clocks in the 1960s and 1970s.

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: 20000 (0.02
               seconds).

       -speed number
               Animation speed.  2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as
               fast.

       -width number
               Columns of the display.  Default: 22.

       -height number
               Rows of the display. Default: 8.

       -mode clock12
               Display a 12-hour clock.

       -mode clock24
               Display a 24-hour clock.

       -front | -no-front
               When spinning, never spin all the way around or upside down:
               always face mostly forward so that the text is easily readable.
               This is the default.

       -no-front
               Allow spins to go all the way around or upside down.

       -wander | -no-wander
               Whether the object should wander around the screen.

       -spin   Which axes around which the text should spin.  The default is
               "XYZ", meaning rotate it freely in space.  "-spin Z" would
               rotate the text in the plane of the screen while not rotating
               it into or out of the screen; etc.

       -wireframe | -no-wireframe
               Render in wireframe instead of solid.

       -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.
