NAME

mirrorblob - Draws a wobbly blob that distorts the image behind it.

SYNOPSIS

mirrorblob [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual]
[--window] [--root] [--window-id number] [--wire] [--delay number]
[--fog] [--walls] [--colour] [--texture] [--offset-texture] [--blend]
[--antialias] [--resolution number] [--bumps number] [--fade-time
number] [--hold-time number] [--zoom number] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION

Draws a wobbling blob, making use of alpha blending, fog, textures,
and lighting, plus a ``frames per second'' meter so that you can tell
how fast your graphics card is... Requires OpenGL.

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. --wire Render in wireframe
instead of solid.

--delay number
Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 10000 (0.01
seconds.).

--fog | --no-fog
Whether to enable fog.

--walls | --no-walls
Add walls for blob to hit.

--colour | --no-colour
Draw coloured blob. If also textured, the texture will have
color mixed in.

--texture | --no-texture
Whether to wrap a texture image on the blob.

--offset_texture | --no-offset_texture
Whether to ofset the texture calculations to only use a
region of the image
under the blob. This works well with a semi-transparent
blob.

--blend | --no-blend
Whether to draw a transparent blob. (see also offset_texture
above)

--antialias | --no-antialias
Whether to antialias lines.

--resolution number
Resolution of the tessellation used to calculate and draw the
blob. Larger
numbers give a smoother blob but increase calculation times
exponentially.

--bumps number
Number of bumps used to distort the blob.

--hold-time number
Time until loading a new image.

--fade-time number
Time taken to transition between images.

--zoom number
Size multiplier for blob.

--fps Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.

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.
