SYNOPSIS

       zoom  [--display host:display.screen] [--foreground color] [--background color] [--window]

       [--duration secs] [--lenses] [--pixwidth pixels] [--pixheight pixels] [--pixspacex pixels]
       [--pixspacey pixels] [--lensoffsetx pixels] [--lensoffsety pixels] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION

       The zoom program takes an image, magnifies it, and scrolls around it, fatbits-style.

       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-settings(1) for more details.

OPTIONS

       zoom accepts the following options:

       --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.

       --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.

       --delay microseconds
               Slow it down.

       --duration seconds
               How long to run before loading a new image.  Default 120 seconds.

       --lenses
               Instead of doing magnification we just copy an offset  region  from  the  original
               image.   If  lensoffsetx < pixwidth (and similarly for Y) then consecutive regions
               will overlap, giving the effect of looking through an array of lenses.

       --pixwidth pixels
               Width of the magnified pixels.

       --pixheight pixels
               Height of the magnified pixels.

       --pixspacex pixels
               Amount of black space between magnified pixels (X direction).

       --pixspacey pixels
               Amount of black space between magnified pixels (Y direction).

       --lensoffsetx pixels
               Distance in X direction between consecutive copied regions  (only  effective  when
               -lenses used).

       --lensoffsety pixels
               Distance  in  Y  direction between consecutive copied regions (only effective when
               -lenses used).

       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.
