carousel(6)

NAME
carousel - displays multiple images rotating in a circular formation

SYNOPSIS
carousel [-display host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-count int] [-zoom | -no-zoom] [-tilt XY] [-titles | -no-titles] [-font font] [-speed ratio] [-duration seconds] [-fps] [-debug] [-wireframe]

DESCRIPTION
Loads several random images, and displays them flying in a circular formation. The circle changes speed and direction randomly, tilts on its axis, and the images move in and out. This program requires a good video card capable of supporting large textures. To specify the directory that images are loaded from, run xscreensaver-demo(1) and click on the "Advanced" tab.

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.

-count int
    How many images to display. Default 7.

-zoom | -no-zoom
    Whether the images should move in and out (toward and away from the axis of rotation). Default true.

-tilt XY | -no-tilt
    Whether the axis of rotation should tilt, and how. -tilt X means that it will tilt toward and away from the viewer. -tilt Y means that it will tilt to the left and right of the screen. -tilt XY (the default) means it will do both.

-titles | -no-titles
    Whether to display the file names of the images beneath them. Default: yes.

-font font-name
    The font to use for titles. Note that the size of the font affects the clarity of the characters, not their size (it is auto-scaled.)

-duration seconds
    Every duration seconds, one of the images will be replaced with a new one. Default 20 seconds.

-speed ratio
    Speed up or slow down the animation. 0.5 means half as fast as the default; 2.0 means twice as fast.

-delay number
    Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 20000 (0.02 seconds.).

-fps
    Whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of the screen.

-debug
    Prints debugging info to stderr.

-wireframe
    Another debug mode.

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.
