xflame1

Draws animated flames

Usage

xflame [-display host:display.screen] [-window] [-root] [-install] [-visual visual] [-hspread int] [-vspread int] [-residual int] [-variance int] [-vartrend int] [-bloom -no-bloom] [-bitmap xbm-file] [-baseline int]

Overview

The xflame program draws animated flames across the bottom of the screen. The flames occasionally flare up. If a bitmap is specified, that image will float above the flames, burning.

Options

xflame 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.

-bitmap filename

Specifies the bitmap file to use (a monochrome XBM file.) The name "none" means not to use a bitmap at all. If unspecified, a built-in image will be used.

The other options are arcane. If someone would care to document them, that would be great.

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.
