## NAME

xthreed - Threed X widget

## SYNOPSIS

/usr/games/xthreed [-geometry [{width}][x{height}][{+-}{xoff}[{+-}{yoff}]]] [-display [{host}]:[{vs}]] [-{foreground|fg} {color}] [-{background|bg} {color}] [-frame {color}] [-white {color}] [-[lt|dk|ltlt|dkdk]gray {color}] [-black {color}] [-another {color}] [-{border|bd} {color}] [-delay msecs] [-[no]sound] [-bumpSound {filename}] [-moveSound {filename}] [-[no]surface] [-object {int}] [-x {int}] [-y {int}] [-z {int}] [-theta {int}] [-phi {int}] [-psi {int}] [-version]

## DESCRIPTION

A simple 3D viewer (though may need some work).

The roll part does not seem to be quite right and may not track well. Of note is the mouse to 3D surface detection.

In the sample data, Cubes and F16 are big, so the polyhedrons are scaled up to them in the data file.

Press "L" or "l" keys to move shape left.

Press "R" or "r" keys to move shape right.

Press "U" or "u" keys to move shape up.

Press "D" or "d" keys to move shape down.

Press "I" or "i" keys to move shape in.

Press "O" or "o" keys to move shape out.

Press "S" or "s" keys to change surface.

Press "B" or "b" keys to change object.

Press "@" key to toggle the sound.

Press "Esc" key to hide program.

"Q", "q", or "CTRL-C" keys kill program.

Use the key pad or arrow keys to rotate object.
Key pad is defined for Threed as:
