Overview
Loads several random images, and displays them flying in a circular formation. The circle changes speed and direction randomly, tilts on its axis, and the images move in and out.
This program requires a good video card capable of supporting large textures.
To specify the directory that images are loaded from, run xscreensaver-settings(1) and click on the "Advanced" tab.
Options
-
--visual visual -
Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.
-
--window -
Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
-
--root -
Draw on the root window.
-
--window-id number -
Draw on the specified window.
-
--count int -
How many images to display. Default 7.
-
--zoom | --no-zoom -
Whether the images should move in and out (toward and away from the axis of rotation). Default true.
- --tilt XY | --no-tilt
-
Whether the axis of rotation should tilt, and how. -tilt X means that it will tilt toward and away from the viewer. -tilt Y means that it will tilt to the left and right of the screen. -tilt XY (the default) means it will do both.
-
--titles | --no-titles -
Whether to display the file names of the images beneath them. Default: yes.
-
--font font-name -
The font to use for titles. Note that the size of the font affects the clarity of the characters, not their size (it is auto-scaled.)
-
--duration seconds -
Every duration seconds, one of the images will be replaced with a new one. Default 20 seconds.
-
--speed ratio -
Speed up or slow down the animation. 0.5 means half as fast as the default; 2.0 means twice as fast.
-
--delay number -
Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 20000 (0.02 seconds.).
-
--fps -
Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
-
--debug -
Prints debugging info to stderr.
-
--wireframe -
Another debug mode.
Environment
-
XENVIRONMENT -
to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
-
XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW -
The window ID to use with --root.
