This is the default. +.TP 8 +.B \-root +Draw on the root window. +.TP 8 +.B \-install +Install a private colormap for the window. +.TP 8 +.B \-visual \fIvisual\fP\fP +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. +.TP 8 +.B \-program \fIsh-command\fP +This program will be run periodically, and its output will be the text +that is displayed. Default \fIxscreensaver\-text\fP. + +You can configure the text printed through the "Advanced" tab of +.BR xscreensaver\-demo (1), +or by editing your ~/.xscreensaver file. +.TP 8 +.B \-size \fIinteger\fP +How large a font to use, in points. (Well, in some arbitrary unit +we're calling "points" for the sake of argument.) Default: 20. +.TP 8 +.B \-columns \fIinteger\fP +At (approximately) what column to wrap lines. Default 80. Wrapping is +done by pixels, not characters, and lines will always wrap at the +edge of the screen regardless. +.TP 8 +.B \-left | \-center | \-right +Whether to align the text flush left, centered, or flush right. +The default is to choose randomly each time a new screen of text +is displayed. +.TP 8 +.B \-lines \fIinteger\fP +How many lines of text should be shown at once. Default 8. +.TP 8 +.B \-speed \fIratio\fP +Change the animation speed; 0.5 to go half as fast, 2.0 to go twice as fast. +.TP 8 +.B \-delay \fIusecs\fP +The delay between frames of the animation; default is 10000 (1/10th second.) +.TP 8 +.B \-font \fIfont-name\fP +The name of the font to use. For best effect, this should be a large +font (at least 36 points.) The bigger the font, the better looking the +characters will be. Note that the size of this font affects only the +clarity of the characters, not their size on the screen: for that, use +the \fI\-size\fP or \fI\-columns\fP options. + +Default: -*-utopia-bold-r-normal-*-*-720-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 +.TP 8 +.B \-fps +Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count. +.SH ENVIRONMENT +.PP +.TP 8 +.B DISPLAY +to get the default host and display number. +.TP 8 +.B XENVIRONMENT +to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources +stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR xscreensaver (1), +.BR xscreensaver-text (1), +.BR fortune (1), +.BR phosphor (MANSUFFIX), +.BR apple2 (MANSUFFIX), +.BR fontglide (MANSUFFIX), +.BR ljlatest (MANSUFFIX), +.BR dadadodo (1), +.BR webcollage (MANSUFFIX), +.BR driftnet (1) +.BR EtherPEG , +.BR EtherPeek +.SH COPYRIGHT +Copyright \(co 2005 by Jamie Zawinski. +Permission to use, copy, modify, distribute, and sell this software and +its documentation for any purpose is hereby granted without fee, +provided that the above copyright notice appear in all copies and that +both that copyright notice and this permission notice appear in +supporting documentation.
