15 Loads several random images, and displays them flying in a circular
16 formation. The circle changes speed and direction randomly, tilts on
17 its axis, and the images move in and out.
18 This program requires a good video card capable of supporting large
20 textures.
21 To specify the directory that images are loaded from, run xscreen‐
23 saver-settings(1) and click on the "Advanced" tab.
24
26 --visual visual
27 Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a
28 visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
29 visual.
30 --window
32 Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
33 --root Draw on the root window.
35 --window-id number
37 Draw on the specified window.
38 --count int
40 How many images to display. Default 7.
41 --zoom | --no-zoom
43 Whether the images should move in and out (toward and away from
44 the axis of rotation). Default true.
45 --tilt XY | --no-tilt
47 Whether the axis of rotation should tilt, and how. -tilt X
48 means that it will tilt toward and away from the viewer. -tilt
49 Y means that it will tilt to the left and right of the screen.
50 -tilt XY (the default) means it will do both.
51 --titles | --no-titles
53 Whether to display the file names of the images beneath them.
54 Default: yes.
55 --font font-name
57 The font to use for titles. Note that the size of the font af‐
58 fects the clarity of the characters, not their size (it is
59 auto-scaled.)
60 --duration seconds
62 Every duration seconds, one of the images will be replaced with
63 a new one. Default 20 seconds.
64 --speed ratio
66 Speed up or slow down the animation. 0.5 means half as fast as
67 the default; 2.0 means twice as fast.
68 --delay number
70 Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 20000 (0.02 sec‐
71 onds.).
72 --fps Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
74 --debug Prints debugging info to stderr.
76 --wireframe
78 Another debug mode.
79
81 DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
82 XENVIRONMENT
84 to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global
85 resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
