Kubik

Text

The text to be displayed. Only 'A' through 'Z' and blanks supported. You can use '|' as newline to display multi-line text. Default value: KUBIK.

Foreground

Color of the wireframe text. You can define your own color, e. g. FF8800, which will be a nice orange, or use one of the following: Random, Dark Random, Light Random. Default value: green.

Background

Background color. You can define your own color, e. g. 000088, which will be a dark blue, or use one of the following: Random, Dark Random, Light Random. Default value: black.

Camera Distance

The distance from the 3D letters to the point of view. Changing this parameter will change the size of the letters. Default value: 10000.

Screen Distance

The distance from the projection screen to the point of view. Changing this parameter will have an effect on the 3D impression of the animation. Default value: 5000.

dx, dy, dz

Before drawing a new frame, these values are added to the rotation angles of each letter. If you make these values larger, the letters will rotate faster. Default values: dx=-2; dy=-10; dz=0. This means, that there's no rotation around the z axis.

Delay

The time between drawing two frames, specified in 1/100 seconds. Default value: 10.

zpos

Initial z coordinate for the first letter of each line. Use this together with dzpos to place the letters from back to front or vice versa. Default value: 0.

dzpos

This value is added to zpos of the previous letter in the line. Use this together with zpos to place the letters from back to front or vice versa. Default value: 0.

x0, y0, z0

Initial rotation angles for the first letter. Use this together with dx0/dy0/dz0 to initialize the rotation angles of each letter. Default values: x0=0; y0=0; z0=0.

dx0, dy0, dz0

These values are added to the rotation angles of the previous letter. Use this together with x0/y0/z0 to initialize the rotation angles of each letter. Default values: dx0=14; dy0=45; dz0=0.
