DESCRIPTION

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-settings(1) for more details.

OPTIONS

26       slidescreen 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       --install
37               Install a private colormap for the window.
38
39       --visual visual
40               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
41               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
42               visual.
43
44       --grid-size pixels
45               The size of the grid cells.  Default 70 pixels.
46
47       --ibw pixels
48               The size of the "gutter" between grid cells.  Default 4 pixel.
49
50       --increment pixels
51               How many pixels by which a piece should be moved  when  sliding
52               to a new location.  Default 10 pixels.
53
54       --delay microseconds
55               How  much  of a delay should be introduced between steps of the
56               animation of the motion of each segment.  Default 50000,  which
57               is  0.05  seconds.   This is closely related to the --increment
58               parameter.
59
60       --delay2 microseconds
61               How much of a delay should be introduced between the end of the
62               motion  of  one  segment and the beginning of the motion of an‐
63               other.  Default 1000000, which is one second.
64
65       --duration seconds
66               How long to run before loading a new image.  Default  120  sec‐
67               onds.
68
69       --fps   Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
70

ENVIRONMENT

72       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
73
74       XENVIRONMENT
75               to  get  the  name of a resource file that overrides the global
76               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
77
78       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
79               The window ID to use with --root.
