       photopile - displays multiple images in a periodically shuffled pile

SYNOPSIS

       photopile  [-display host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-count int] [-scale factor]
       [-maxTilt degrees] [-titles | -no-titles] [-polaroid |  -no-polaroid]  [-shadows  |  -no-shadows]  [-font
       font] [-speed ratio] [-duration seconds] [-fps] [-debug] [-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 and for image titles.

       -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.
