17 The gflux program draws a colourfull animated rippling square rotating
18 in 3D space.
19
21 gflux accepts the following options:
22 --window
24 Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
25 --root Draw on the root window.
27 --window-id number
29 Draw on the specified window.
30 --install
32 Install a private colormap for the window.
33 --visual visual
35 Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a
36 visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
37 visual.
38 --squares num
40 Specifies the size of the grid in squares. default 19
41 --resolution num
43 Specifies the wireframe detail of the squares. default 4
44 --mode mode
46 Specifies the draw method: wireframe; solid (meaning a solid
47 colored surface); light (same as solid, but with lighting ef‐
48 fects); checker (a texture-mapped checkerboard pattern); or
49 grab (meaning grab an image to manipulate.)
50 When grabbing images, the image will be grabbed from the por‐
52 tion of the screen underlying the window, or from the system's
53 video input, or from a random file on disk, as indicated by the
54 grabDesktopImages, grabVideoFrames, and chooseRandomImages op‐
55 tions in the ~/.xscreensaver file; see xscreensaver-settings(1)
56 for more details.
57 --wireframe
59 Same as "-mode wire".
60 --flat num
62 0 for smooth shading 1 for flat. default 0
63 --speed num
65 Specifies speed of ripples flowing over the surface. default
66 0.05
67 --rotationx num --rotationy num --rotationz num
69 Specifies the speed of rotation of the surface in these axis
70 --waves num
72 Specifies the number of ripple centres at any one time. Values
73 should be greater than 1. default 3
74 --waveChange num
76 Specifies the duration of a ripple centre. after this they
77 fade away to be reborn elsewhere with a different frequency.
78 default 50
79 --waveHeight num
81 Specifies the height of ripples on the surface. default 1.0
82 --waveFreq num
84 Specifies the maximum frequency of ripples. default 3.0
85 --zoom num
87 Specifies the size of the viewport. Smaller values fill the
88 screen with rippling surface. default 1.0
89 --delay microseconds
91 How long to pause between frames. Default is 20000, or 0.02
92 second.
93 --fps Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
95
97 DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
98 XENVIRONMENT
100 to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global
101 resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
102 XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
104 The window ID to use with --root.
