       [--count int] [--scale factor] [--maxTilt degrees] [--titles | --no-titles] [--polaroid |  --no-polaroid]

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-settings(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.

       --window-id number
               Draw on the specified 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.

       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
               The window ID to use with --root.
