ICO(6)

NAME

ico − animate an icosahedron

SYNOPSIS

ico [display list] [=geometry] [-d pattern] [-i]

DESCRIPTION

Ico displays a wire-frame rotating polyhedron, with hidden lines removed, or a solid-fill polyhedron with hidden faces removed.  There are a number of different polyhedra available; adding a new polyhedron to the program is quite simple. 

OPTIONS

-d pattern
Specify a bit pattern for drawing dashed lines for wire frames.

-i Use inverted colors for wire frames. 

For each display specified,
Ico creates another window.  The total geometry is split vertically amongst these windows, and the ico bounces between them.  The end result is that ico foo:0 bar:0 would result in ico bouncing half on display foo:0 and half on bar:0.
