dymaxionmap - An animation of Buckminster Fuller's unwrapped icosahedral globe.
dymaxionmap [-display host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-delay number] [-speed ratio] [-no-wander] [-no-roll] [-no-stars] [-no-grid] [-flat] [-satellite] [-image file] [-image2 file] [-frames number] [-wireframe] [-fps]
Buckminster Fuller's map of the Earth projected onto the surface of an unfolded icosahedron. It depicts the Earth's continents as one island, or nearly contiguous land masses.
This screen saver animates the progression of the dusk terminator across the flattened globe. It includes both satellite and flat-colored map imagery, and can load and convert other Equirectangular-projected maps.
