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.
24

OPTIONS

26       zoom accepts the following options:
27
28       --window
29               Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
30
31       --root  Draw on the root window.
32
33       --window-id number
34               Draw on the specified window.
35
36       --mono  If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
37
38       --install
39               Install a private colormap for the window.
40
41       --visual visual
42               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
43               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
44               visual.
45
46       --delay microseconds
47               Slow it down.
48
49       --duration seconds
50               How long to run before loading a new image.  Default  120  sec‐
51               onds.
52
53       --lenses
54               Instead  of  doing  magnification we just copy an offset region
55               from the original image.  If lensoffsetx < pixwidth (and  simi‐
56               larly  for Y) then consecutive regions will overlap, giving the
57               effect of looking through an array of lenses.
58
59       --pixwidth pixels
60               Width of the magnified pixels.
61
62       --pixheight pixels
63               Height of the magnified pixels.
64
65       --pixspacex pixels
66               Amount of black space between magnified pixels (X direction).
67
68       --pixspacey pixels
69               Amount of black space between magnified pixels (Y direction).
70
71       --lensoffsetx pixels
72               Distance in X  direction  between  consecutive  copied  regions
73               (only effective when -lenses used).
74
75       --lensoffsety pixels
76               Distance  in  Y  direction  between  consecutive copied regions
77               (only effective when -lenses used).
78
79
80       ENVIRONMENT
81
82       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
83
84       XENVIRONMENT
85               to get the name of a resource file that  overrides  the  global
86               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
87
88       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
89               The window ID to use with --root.
