NAME

       slidescreen - permute the screen image like an 8-puzzle

SYNOPSIS

       slidescreen   [-display  host:display.screen]  [-background  color]  [-grid-size  pixels]  [-ibw  pixels]
       [-increment pixels] [-delay usecs] [-delay2 usecs] [-duration secs] [-window] [-root] [-install] [-visual
       visual] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

       The slidescreen program takes an image, divides it into a grid, deletes a random square of that grid, and
       then randomly slides one of the neighbors of this "hole" into the hole (and repeat.)

       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

       slidescreen accepts the following options:

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

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -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.

       -grid-size pixels
               The size of the grid cells.  Default 70 pixels.

       -ibw pixels
               The size of the "gutter" between grid cells.  Default 4 pixel.

       -increment pixels
               How many pixels by which a piece should be moved when sliding to  a  new  location.   Default  10
               pixels.

       -delay microseconds
               How  much  of  a  delay should be introduced between steps of the animation of the motion of each
               segment.  Default 50000, which is 0.05 seconds.   This  is  closely  related  to  the  -increment
               parameter.

       -delay2 microseconds
               How  much  of  a  delay should be introduced between the end of the motion of one segment and the
               beginning of the motion of another.  Default 1000000, which is one second.

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

       -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.
