15 The slidescreen program takes an image, divides it into a grid, deletes
16 a random square of that grid, and then randomly slides one of the
17 neighbors of this "hole" into the hole (and repeat.)
18
19 The image that it manipulates will be grabbed from the portion of the
20 screen underlying the window, or from the system's video input, or from
21 a random file on disk, as indicated by the grabDesktopImages, grabVide‐
22 oFrames, and chooseRandomImages options in the ~/.xscreensaver file;
23 see xscreensaver-demo(1) for more details.
24
26 slidescreen accepts the following options:
27
28 -window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
29
30 -root Draw on the root window.
31
32 -install
33 Install a private colormap for the window.
34
35 -visual visual
36 Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a
37 visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
38 visual.
39
40 -grid-size pixels
41 The size of the grid cells. Default 70 pixels.
42
43 -ibw pixels
44 The size of the "gutter" between grid cells. Default 4 pixel.
45
46 -increment pixels
47 How many pixels by which a piece should be moved when sliding
48 to a new location. Default 10 pixels.
49
50 -delay microseconds
51 How much of a delay should be introduced between steps of the
52 animation of the motion of each segment. Default 50000, which
53 is 0.05 seconds. This is closely related to the -increment
54 parameter.
55
56 -delay2 microseconds
57 How much of a delay should be introduced between the end of the
58 motion of one segment and the beginning of the motion of
59 another. Default 1000000, which is one second.
60
61 -duration seconds
62 How long to run before loading a new image. Default 120 sec‐
63 onds.
64
65 -fps Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
66
68 DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
69
70 XENVIRONMENT
