pngphoon [-w width] [-h height] [-f filename] [-x moons_in_x] [-y moons_in_y] [-s density] [-b]
This manual page documents briefly the pngphoon command.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
pngphoon is a program that creates a PNG image of the current phase of the moon. It is a successor to xphoon but does not write to the root window, but to a file. You can use it with window managers that accept commands for their background image settings. It is pronounced "pingphoon" (like "typhoon").
This program takes the following options.
Mandatory. Gives the image height. The image must be at least 760px high to be able to contain the moon. If the image is smaller only the stars will be plotted.
Mandatory. Gives the image width. The image must be at least 760px wide to be able to contain the moon. If the image is smaller only the stars will be plotted.
Mandatory. File name the PNG image shall be written to, for output to stdout use - instead of a filename
Number of moons in x axis (for multihead configurations)
Number of moons in y axis (for multihead configurations)
Star density
Black (no earthlight)
