NAME

arch − display a simulated architectural model

SYNOPSIS

/usr/people/demos/arch

DESCRIPTION

Arch displays a model of an imaginary city block.  Operator controls adjust the viewing position and select one or several structures for display. 

Most user interface is through the mouse buttons.  Each non-zero combination of mouse buttons causes a different viewpoint movement.  The mouse valuators are ignored. 

In the initial state, a single building is displayed.  Type an s to turn on (or off) wireframe buildings that complete the block.  Type f to cover (or uncover) the building surfaces.  Type r to initialize the program and h for a help menu. 

DISPLAY OPTIONS

Upon entry into the program, Arch is set for NTSC or high resolution output, depending on the currently selected monitor.  Use CTRL-A to switch to 60 Hz non-interlaced video, CTRL-B to switch to 30 Hz interlaced video and CTRL-C to switch to low resolution, 30 Hz, RS-170A video, and CTRL-D to switch to low resolution, European 25 Hz video.
