DESCRIPTION

15       Packs the screen with growing boxes or circles, colored according to  a
16       horizontal  or  vertical  gradient.  The objects grow until they touch,
17       then stop.  When the screen is full, they shrink away and  the  process
18       restarts.

OPTIONS

21       --visual visual
22               Specify  which  visual  to use.  Legal values are the name of a
23               visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of  a  specific
24               visual.
25
26       --window
27               Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
28
29       --root  Draw on the root window.
30
31       --window-id number
32               Draw on the specified window.
33
34       --delay microseconds
35               How  much  of a delay should be introduced between steps of the
36               animation.  Default 20000, or about 0.02 seconds.
37
38       --count int
39               How many boxes or circles to  animate  simultaneously;  default
40               50.  Smaller numbers yield larger boxes/circles.
41
42       --growby int
43               How  many  pixels  the objects should grow by, each frame.  De‐
44               fault 1.
45
46       --spacing int
47               How many pixels of space should be left  between  the  objects.
48               Default 1.
49
50       --border int
51               Thickness of the colored border around each object.  Default 1.
52
53       --circles | --squares | --random
54               Draw circles, squares, or choose randomly (the default).
55
56       --grab  Normally it colors the boxes with a horizontal or vertical gra‐
57               dient.  If --grab is specified, it will instead load  a  random
58               image,  and color the boxes according to the colors in that im‐
59               age.  As the picture fills in, some features of the  underlying
60               image may become recognisable.
61
62               When  grabbing  images, the image will be grabbed from the por‐
63               tion of the screen underlying the window, or from the  system's
64               video input, or from a random file on disk, as indicated by the
65               grabDesktopImages, grabVideoFrames, and chooseRandomImages  op‐
66               tions in the ~/.xscreensaver file; see xscreensaver-settings(1)
67               for more details.
68
69       --peek  This option says to briefly show you the underlying  image  be‐
70               fore  beginning.   The default is not to show the unadulterated
71               image at all.  (This only has an effect when --grab is used.)
72
73       --fps   Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
74
