NAME

rotzoomer - animated rotations and scalings of portions of the screen

SYNOPSIS

rotzoomer [-display host:display.screen] [-move | -no-move] [-delay millisecs] [-duration secs] [-n count] [-shm | -no-shm] [-window] [-root] [-install] [-visual visual] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

The rotzoomer program grabs an image, then picks rectangles and draws scaled and rotated animations of that section.

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.

rotzoomer accepts the following options:

-window

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

-root

-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 milliseconds

How much of a delay should be introduced between steps of the animation. Default 10, or about 1/100th second.

-duration seconds

How long to run before loading a new image. Default 120 seconds.

-move
