The setpipes program modifies the location and size of the
rendering area for each 3D Slave. In addition, the number of jitter
samples per 3D Slave can also be specified.
NOTES:1) When experimenting with different values in xdist and
ydist, it is possible that the values will not total 100% of the
screen width or height. In this case, the command will be executed
and the compositor will display a test pattern in the areas not
covered by a pipe. The test pattern is a block grid pattern that
rotates between red, green, and blue continuously.
2) When running setpipes on an sv6 VisCenter configuration, the
"-" is optional between the master specifier (e.g, "-0") and the
Pipe orientation (e.g., grid). In other words, on an sv6 VisCenter:
setpipes -0 grid -1 grid
is identical to
setpipes -0 -grid -1 -grid
