NAME

       pngphoon — Creates a png file with the current phase of the moon

SYNOPSIS

       pngphoon [-w width]  [-h height]  [-f filename]  [-x moons_in_x]  [-y moons_in_y]  [-s density]  [-b]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the pngphoon command.

       This  manual  page  was  written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a
       manual page.

       pngphoon is a program that creates a PNG image of the current phase of the moon. It  is  a  successor  to
       xphoon  but  does  not write to the root window, but to a file.  You can use it with window managers that
       accept commands for their background image settings.  It is pronounced "pingphoon" (like "typhoon").

OPTIONS

       This program takes the following options.

       -h        Mandatory. Gives the image height. The image must be at least 760px high to be able to  contain
                 the moon. If the image is smaller only the stars will be plotted.

       -w        Mandatory.  Gives  the image width. The image must be at least 760px wide to be able to contain
                 the moon. If the image is smaller only the stars will be plotted.

       -f        Mandatory. File name the PNG image shall be written to, for output to stdout use - instead of a
                 filename

       -x        Number of moons in x axis (for multihead configurations)

       -y        Number of moons in y axis (for multihead configurations)

       -s        Star density

       -b        Black (no earthlight)
