NAME
       slip - sucks your screen into a jet engine


SYNOPSIS
       slip  [-display  host:display.screen]  [-foreground  color] [-background color] [-window] [-root] [-mono]
       [-install]  [-visual  visual]  [-ncolors  integer]  [-iterations  integer]  [-points   integer]   [-delay
       microseconds] [-delay2 microseconds] [-fps]


DESCRIPTION
       The slip program does lots of blits and chews up an image.

       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
       slip accepts the following options:

       -window Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -mono   If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.

       -install
               Install a private colormap for the window.

       -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.

       -ncolors integer
               How  many  colors  should be used (if possible).  Default 200.  The colors used cycle through the
               hue, making N stops around the color wheel.

       -count integer
               How many whooziwhatsis to generate.  Default 35.

       -cycles integer
               How long to frobnicate.  Default 50.

       -delay microseconds
               How long we should wait between drawing each step.  Default 50000, or about 1/20th second.

       -fps    Display the current frame rate and CPU load.


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.
