22
Loads a random sequence of images and smoothly scans and zooms around
23
in each, fading from pan to pan.
25
This program requires a good video card capable of supporting large
28
To specify the directory that images are loaded from, run
29
.BR xscreensaver-demo (1)
30
and click on the "Advanced" tab.
33
.B \-visual \fIvisual\fP
34
Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class,
35
or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.
38
Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
41
Draw on the root window.
43
.B \-duration \fIseconds\fP
44
How long each image will be displayed before loading a new one.
47
.B \-pan \fIseconds\fP
48
How long each pan-and-zoom should last. Default 6 seconds.
50
With the default settings of \fI\-pan 6 \-duration 30\fP, each image
51
will be displayed five times (30/6), and then a new image will be loaded.
52
If you want a new image to be loaded at each fade, then set \fI\-pan\fP
53
and \fI\-duration\fP to the same value.
55
.B \-fade \fIseconds\fP
56
How long each cross-fade between images should last. Default 2 seconds.
57
If set to 0, then no cross-fading will be done (all transitions
60
Note that fades are included in the pan time, so \fI\-fade\fP cannot
61
be larger than \fI\-pan\fP.
63
.B \-zoom \fInumber\fP
64
Amount to zoom and pan as a percentage. Default: 75, meaning that
65
75% or more of each image will always be visible. If set to 100%,
66
then the images will always fill the screen, and no panning or
67
zooming will occur. (Images will still smoothly fade from one
68
to another if \fI\-fade\fP is non-zero.)
71
Whether to print the file name of the current image in the upper left corner.
74
In "letterbox" mode, when an image is not the same aspect ratio as the screen,
75
black bars will appear at the top/bottom or left/right so that the whole
76
image can be displayed. This is the default.
79
In "clip" mode, when an image is not the same aspect ratio as the screen,
80
we will zoom in further until the image takes up the whole screen.
81
This is the opposite of \fI\-letterbox\fP.
83
.B \-delay \fInumber\fP
84
Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 20000 (0.02 seconds.).
87
Whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of the screen.
89
.B \-cutoff \fInumber\fP
90
If the frame rate we are achieving is lower than this, then panning,
91
fading, and zooming will be disabled. Default 5 FPS.
93
The idea here is that if your machine can't maintain a decent frame
94
rate, then it must not have fast 3D hardware, so we might as well
95
behave in a simpler manner. Set this to 0 to disable this check.
98
Prints debugging info to stderr.
106
to get the default host and display number.
109
to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources
110
stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
