GAIASKY(6)

NAME
gaiasky - real-time, 3D, astronomy visualization software

SYNOPSIS
gaiasky [options]

DESCRIPTION
Gaia Sky is a real-time, multiplatform and modern 3D Universe software. It enables the interactive exploration of the Universe, from the Solar System to the most distant galaxies.

    Options:

-h, --help

    Show program options and usage information.

-i, --ascii-art

    Add nice ascii art to --version information. Default: false

-v, --version

    List Gaia Sky version and relevant information. Default: false

-s, --skip-welcome

    Skip the welcome screen if possible (base-data package must be present). Default: false

-p, --properties

    Specify the location of the properties file.

-a, --assets

    Specify the location of the assets folder. If not present, the default assets location (in the installation folder) is used.

-vr, --openxr

    Launch in Virtual Reality mode. Gaia Sky will attempt to create a VR context through OpenXR. Make sure your OpenXR runtime is running. Default: false

-e, --externalview

    Create a window with a view of the scene and no UI. Default: false

-n, --no-script

    Do not start the scripting server. Useful to run more than one Gaia Sky instance at once in the same machine. Default: false

-d, --debug

    Launch in debug mode. Prints out debug information from Gaia Sky to the logs. Default: false

-g, --debug-gpu

    Activate OpenGL debug mode. Prints out debug information from OpenGL to the standard output. Default: false

--debug-input

    Activate input debug mode. Prints out debug information for all input events (keyboard/mouse/controllers). Default: false

-l, --headless

    Use headless (windowless) mode, for servers. Default: false

--safe-mode

    Activate safe graphics mode. This forces the creation of an OpenGL 3.2 context, and disables float buffers and tessellation. Default: false

--no-safe-mode

    Force deactivation of safe graphics mode. Warning: this bypasses internal checks and may break things! Useful to get rid of safe graphics mode in the settings. Default: false

--hdpi-mode

    The HDPI mode to use. Defines how HiDPI monitors are handled. Operating systems may have a per-monitor HiDPI scale setting. The operating system may report window width/height and mouse coordinates in a logical coordinate system at a lower resolution than the actual physical resolution. This setting allows you to specify whether you want to work in logical or raw pixel units. Default: Pixels Possible Values: [Logical, Pixels]
