DESCRIPTION

16       The flag program draws a waving flag that contains text or a bitmap.
17

OPTIONS

19       flag accepts the following options:
20
21       -window Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
22
23       -root   Draw on the root window.
24
25       -mono   If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
26
27       -install
28               Install a private colormap for the window.
29
30       -visual visual
31               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
32               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
33               visual.
34
35       -ncolors integer
36               How many colors should be used (if possible).  Default 200.
37
38       -cycles integer
39
40
41       -count integer
42
43
44       -size integer
45               How large the pixels in the flag should be, from 1  to  8.   If
46               this  is  a  negative number, the pixel size is chosen randomly
47               from the range 1 to -size.  Default -7.
48
49       -text text
50               The text to display in the flag.  Multiple lines  of  text  are
51               allowed; the lines will be displayed centered atop one another.
52               Default: none.  If the text is the  magic  string  "(default)",
53               then  the  text used will be the local machine name; a newline;
54               and the local OS version.
55
56       -bitmap xbm-file
57               The bitmap to display in the flag; this must  be  an  XBM  file
58               (color XPMs are not allowed.)  Default: none.  If the bitmap is
59               the magic string "(default)", then the bitmap used  will  be  a
60               charming little picture of J. R. "Bob" Dobbs.
61
62               If  neither  -text  nor  -bitmap are specified, then either the
63               builtin text or the builtin bitmap will be chosen randomly.
64
65       -font font
66               The font in which to draw the text;  the  default  is  "-*-hel‐
67               vetica-bold-r-*-240-*".
68

73               to  get  the  name of a resource file that overrides the global
74               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
