NAME
xanalogtv - Simulate reception on an old analog TV set
SYNOPSIS
xanalogtv
[-display
host:display.screen] [-window] [-root] [-install]
[-visual
visual]
[-cycle] [-no-cycle]
[-fps]
DESCRIPTION
xanalogtv
shows a simulation of an old TV set showing test patterns and any
other images you have provided. It reproduces a wide range of TV
reception bummage: snow, bloom, ghosting, and loss of vertical and
horizontal sync. It also simulates the TV warming up. It will cycle
through 12 channels, some with images you give it, and some with color
bars or nothing but static.
The images that it uses 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-settings(1)
for more details. It looks best with a video input or
your digital photo collection.
