## DESCRIPTION

xdbedizzy is a demo of DBE creating a double buffered spinning scene.

## OPTIONS

- **-display** *host:dpy*

  This option specifies the X server to contact.

- **-print**

  Switches to printer output (default is video output). If no other printer arguments are given the default printer is being used.

- **-printer** *printername*

  This option specifies the Xprint printer to contact.

- **-printfile** *filename*

  Redirects the PDL (Printer Desktoption Language, usually Postscript, PDF, PCL, etc.) stream to the specified file.

- **-numpages** *count*

  Number of pages to print. Default is 5.

- **-delta** *dlt*

  Delta value used to rotate the scene for each frame (video output) or page (printer output).

- **-class** *visclass*

  Name of visual to choose. Valid values are TrueColor, DirectColor, PseudoColor, StaticColor, Grayscale, StaticGray

- **-depth** *depth*

  Depth of visual to use.

- **-visid** *visualid*

  Visual ID to use (ignore **-class**, **-depth**).

- **-list**

  List double buffer capable visuals.

- **-nodb**

  Single buffer (ignore **-class**, **-depth**, **-visid**).

- **-help**

  Prints usage and exists.

- **-speed** *value*

  Defines the time to delay between frames as delay=2sec/speed. Default value is 20. This option is ignored in print mode.

- **-sync**

  Use synchronous X connection.

- **-spokes** *value*

  Specify number of spokes to draw. The default value is 12.

- **-verbose**

  Print verbose output.

## ENVIRONMENT

- **DISPLAY**

  **DISPLAY** must be set to get the default host and display to use.

- **XPSERVERLIST**

  **XPSERVERLIST** must be set for the **-printer** option identifying the available Xprint servers. See [**Xprint**(7)](/Xprint/7.md) for more details.
