DESCRIPTION

The jigsaw program loads an image, carves it up into a jigsaw puzzle,
shuffles it, and then solves it.

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.

--delay microseconds

1.

--complexity ratio
Less than 1 for simpler puzzles (fewer pieces), greater than
1 for more complex puzzles (more pieces). Default 1.

--resolution ratio
Smoothness of the edges of the pieces. Less than 1 for
rougher pieces (fewer polygons), greater than 1 for more
smoother pieces (more polygons). Default 1.
