DESCRIPTION

16       The  zoom  program takes an image, magnifies it, and scrolls around it,
17       fatbits-style.
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-settings(1) for more details.

OPTIONS

26       zoom 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       -mono   If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
33
34       -install
35               Install a private colormap for the window.
36
37       -visual visual
38               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
39               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
40               visual.
41
42       -delay microseconds
43               Slow it down.
44
45       -duration seconds
46               How long to run before loading a new image.  Default  120  sec‐
47               onds.
48
49       -lenses Instead  of  doing  magnification we just copy an offset region
50               from the original image.  If lensoffsetx < pixwidth (and  simi‐
51               larly  for Y) then consecutive regions will overlap, giving the
52               effect of looking through an array of lenses.
53
54       -pixwidth pixels
55               Width of the magnified pixels.
56
57       -pixheight pixels
58               Height of the magnified pixels.
59
60       -pixspacex pixels
61               Amount of black space between magnified pixels (X direction).
62
63       -pixspacey pixels
64               Amount of black space between magnified pixels (Y direction).
65
66       -lensoffsetx pixels
67               Distance in X  direction  between  consecutive  copied  regions
68               (only effective when -lenses used).
69
70       -lensoffsety pixels
71               Distance  in  Y  direction  between  consecutive copied regions
72               (only effective when -lenses used).
73
74
75       ENVIRONMENT
76
77       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
78
79       XENVIRONMENT
80               to get the name of a resource file that  overrides  the  global
81               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
