Overview
The flag program draws a waving flag that contains text or a bitmap.
Options
flag accepts the following options:
-
-window -
Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
-
-root -
Draw on the root window.
-
-mono -
If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
-
-install -
Install a private colormap for the window.
-
-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.
-
-ncolors integer -
How many colors should be used (if possible). Default 200.
-
-cycles integer
-
-count integer
-
-size integer -
How large the pixels in the flag should be, from 1 to 8. If this is a negative number, the pixel size is chosen randomly from the range 1 to -size. Default -7.
-
-text text -
The text to display in the flag. Multiple lines of text are allowed; the lines will be displayed centered atop one another. Default: none. If the text is the magic string "(default)", then the text used will be the local machine name; a newline; and the local OS version.
-
-bitmap xbm-file -
The bitmap to display in the flag; this must be an XBM file (color XPMs are not allowed.) Default: none. If the bitmap is the magic string "(default)", then the bitmap used will be a charming little picture of J. R. "Bob" Dobbs.
If neither -text nor -bitmap are specified, then either the builtin text or the builtin bitmap will be chosen randomly.
-
-font font -
The font in which to draw the text; the default is "-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-240-*".
Environment
-
XENVIRONMENT -
to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
