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    Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.

       -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.
