ico(1) X Version 11 (1 March 1988) ico(1)
NAME
ico - animates an icosahedron or other polyhedron
SYNOPSIS
ico [-options ...]
DESCRIPTION
The ico program 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.
OPTIONS
-display
Specifies the X server.
-geometry geometry
Specifies the preferred size and position of the window.
-r Displays on the root window instead of creating a new
window.
-d pattern
Specifies a bit pattern for drawing dashed lines for
wire frames.
-i Uses inverted colors for wire frames.
-dbl
Uses double-buffering on the display. This works for
either wire frame or solid fill drawings. For solid
fill drawings, this switch results in substantially
smoother movement. Note that double buffering requires
twice as many bit planes, however. Since some colors
are typically allocated by other programs, most eight-
bit-plane displays are usually limited to eight colors
when using double buffering. This option may not work
properly on some servers.
-faces
Draws filled faces instead of wire frames.
-noedges
Does not draw the wire frames. This is typically used
only with the -faces option.
-sleep n
Sleep n seconds between each move the object makes.
-obj object
Specifies what object to draw. If no object is
specified, ico draws an icosahedron.

-objhelp
Prints out a list of the available objects and
information about each object.
-colors color color ...
Specifies the colors for the filled faces of the object.
If you specify less colors than faces, the ico program
reuses the colors.
LIMITATIONS
A separate color cell is allocated for each name in the
-colors list, even if you specify the same name twice.
