SYNOPSIS

carousel [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window]
[--root] [--window-id number] [--count int] [--zoom | --no-zoom]
[--tilt XY] [--titles | --no-titles] [--font font] [--speed ratio]
[--duration seconds] [--fps] [--debug] [--wireframe]

DESCRIPTION

Loads several random images, and displays them flying in a circular
formation. The circle changes speed and direction randomly, tilts on
its axis, and the images move in and 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.

--zoom | --no-zoom
Whether the images should move in and out (toward and away
from the axis of rotation). Default true.

--tilt XY | --no-tilt
Whether the axis of rotation should tilt, and how. -tilt X
means that it will tilt toward and away from the viewer.
-tilt Y means that it will tilt to the left and right of the
screen. -tilt XY (the default) means it will do both.

--titles | --no-titles
Whether to display the file names of the images beneath them.
Default: yes.

--font font-name
The font to use for titles. Note that the size of the font
affects the clarity of the characters, not their size (it is
auto-scaled.)

--duration seconds
Every duration seconds, one of the images will be replaced
with a new one. Default 20 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: 20000 (0.02
seconds.).

--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.
