DESCRIPTION
The
slidescreen program takes an image, divides it into
a grid, deletes a random square of that grid, and then randomly slides
one of the neighbors of this "hole" into the hole (and repeat.)
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.
OPTIONS
slidescreen
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

- -grid-size pixels
-
The size of the grid cells. Default 70 pixels.
- -ibw pixels
-
The size of the "gutter" between grid cells. Default 4 pixel.
- -increment pixels
-
How many pixels by which a piece should be moved when sliding to a new
location. Default 10 pixels.
- -delay microseconds
-
How much of a delay should be introduced between steps of the animation of
the motion of each segment. Default 50000, which is 0.05 seconds. This
is closely related to the -increment parameter.
- -delay2 microseconds

How much of a delay should be introduced between the end of the motion of
one segment and the beginning of the motion of another. Default 1000000,
which is one second.
