SYNOPSIS

       photopile  [-display  host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-count int]
       [-scale factor] [-maxTilt degrees]  [-titles  |  -no-titles]  [-polaroid  |  -no-polaroid]

       [-wireframe]

DESCRIPTION

       Loads several random images, and displays them as if lying in a random pile.  The pile  is
       periodically reshuffled, with new images coming in and old ones being thrown 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.

       -scale factor
               Size of images in relation to the size of the window.  Default 0.4.

       -maxTilt degrees
               Maximum deviation from vertical.  Default 50 degrees.

       -duration seconds
               Every  duration  seconds,  one  of  the  images  will  be replaced with a new one.
               Default 5 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: 10000 (0.01 seconds.).

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

       -polaroid | -no-polaroid
               Whether to simulate images taken by an instant camera.  Default: yes.

       -shadows | -no-shadows
               Whether to draw images with drop shadows.  Default: no.

       -font font-name
               The font to use for the initial loading screen.

       -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
