mirrorblob6

Usage

Overview

Draws a wobbling blob, making use of alpha blending, fog, textures, and lighting, plus a ``frames per second'' meter so that you can tell how fast your graphics card is... Requires OpenGL.

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. --wire Render in wireframe instead of solid.

--delay number

Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 10000 (0.01 seconds.).

--fog | --no-fog

Whether to enable fog.

--walls | --no-walls

Add walls for blob to hit.

--colour | --no-colour

Draw coloured blob. If also textured, the texture will have color mixed in.

--texture | --no-texture

Whether to wrap a texture image on the blob.

--offset_texture | --no-offset_texture

Whether to ofset the texture calculations to only use a region of the image
under the blob. This works well with a semi-transparent blob.

--blend | --no-blend

Whether to draw a transparent blob. (see also offset_texture above)

--antialias | --no-antialias

Whether to antialias lines.

--resolution number

Resolution of the tessellation used to calculate and draw the blob. Larger
numbers give a smoother blob but increase calculation times exponentially.

--bumps number

Number of bumps used to distort the blob.

--hold-time number

Time until loading a new image.

--fade-time number

Time taken to transition between images.

--zoom number

Size multiplier for blob.

--fps

Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.

Environment

DISPLAY

to get the default host and display number.

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.
