DESCRIPTION

14       Packs  the screen with growing boxes or circles, colored according to a
15       horizontal or vertical gradient.  The objects grow  until  they  touch,
16       then  stop.   When the screen is full, they shrink away and the process
17       restarts.

OPTIONS

20       -visual visual
21               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
22               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
23               visual.
24
25       -window Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
26
27       -root   Draw on the root window.
28
29       -delay microseconds
30               How much of a delay should be introduced between steps  of  the
31               animation.  Default 20000, or about 0.02 seconds.
32
33       -count int
34               How  many  boxes  or circles to animate simultaneously; default
35               50.  Smaller numbers yield larger boxes/circles.
36
37       -growby int
38               How many  pixels  the  objects  should  grow  by,  each  frame.
39               Default 1.
40
41       -spacing int
42               How  many  pixels  of space should be left between the objects.
43               Default 1.
44
45       -border int
46               Thickness of the colored border around each object.  Default 1.
47
48       -circles | -squares | -random
49               Draw circles, squares, or choose randomly (the default).
50
51       -grab   Normally it colors the boxes with a horizontal or vertical gra‐
52               dient.   If  -grab  is specified, it will instead load a random
53               image, and color the boxes according  to  the  colors  in  that
54               image.   As the picture fills in, some features of the underly‐
55               ing image may become recognisable.
56
57               When grabbing images, the image will be grabbed from  the  por‐
58               tion  of the screen underlying the window, or from the system's
59               video input, or from a random file on disk, as indicated by the
60               grabDesktopImages,   grabVideoFrames,   and  chooseRandomImages
61               options in the ~/.xscreensaver file;  see  xscreensaver-demo(1)
62               for more details.
63
64       -peek   This  option  says  to  briefly  show  you the underlying image
65               before beginning.  The default is not to show the unadulterated
66               image at all.  (This only has an effect when -grab is used.)
67
