jigsaw1

Permute the screen image like a jigsaw puzzle

Usage

jigsaw [-display host:display.screen] [-background color] [-delay usecs] [-window] [-root] [-install] [-visual visual]

Overview

The jigsaw program takes an image, carves it up into a jigsaw puzzle, shuffles it, and then solves it.

The image that it manipulates will be grabbed from the portion of the screen underlying the window, or from the system's video input, or from a random file on disk, as indicated by the grabDesktopImages, grabVideoFrames, and chooseRandomImages options in the ~/.xscreensaver file; see xscreensaver-demo(1) for more details.

Options

jigsaw accepts the following options:

-window

Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.

-root

Draw on the root window.

-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.

-delay microseconds

How long to wait between shuffling pieces; default 700000, or 0.7 seconds.

Environment
