JITTERBUG(1)

💖 NAME 💖

jitterbug — jitterbug transformation. And yes, bestie, the manual itself is JITTERBUG(1), from the User Commands section — folding that right in at the top so you know exactly what we're dealing with. 💅

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

jitterbug [options] [cycle_stage]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so jitterbug creates a stage of the jitterbug transformation in OFF format. The cycles run from 0.0 to 1.0. The fractional part of cycle_stage is tied to a stage in a full rotation jitterbug. That stage is measured by the distance travelled by a point moving around a square which halves a cube of edge 0.25, and which determines the jitterbug shape. Literally iconic geometry behaviour. ✨

💅 Options 💅

• -h,--help — this help message (run off_util -H help for general help).
• --version — version information.
• -f <fces> — faces to include:
  • x — none
  • a — all
  • e — equilateral triangles (default)
  • o — other triangles
• -c <cyc> — cycle type:
  • f — full rotation
  • o — alternating between left and right octahedron stages
  • r — rolling between left and right octahedron stages
  • i — alternating between left and right icosahedron stages
• -l <size> — lattice size, number of jitterbugs along an edge (default 1).
• -r — allow lattice reversal by fixing connections between jitterbug neighbours.
• -t — fix an opposing pair of triangles, stopping them from rotating.
• -T — rotate so equilateral triangle is on top (supports -t).
• -o <file> — write output to file (default: write to standard output).

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

The full documentation for jitterbug is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If the info and jitterbug programs are properly installed at your site, the command

info jitterbug

should give you access to the complete manual. Go get that deep lore, bestie. 🫶

Okay so final sign-off vibe check: this is jitterbug from Antiprism 0.32, the footer URL is http://..., and the manpage label is JITTERBUG(1). No date is printed in the footer, so I'm not inventing one — periodt. 💖✨🎀
