NAME

xflame - draws animated flames

SYNOPSIS

xflame [--display host:display.screen] [--window] [--root]
[--window-id number][--install] [--visual visual] [--foreground
color] [--hspread int] [--vspread int] [--residual int] [--variance
int] [--vartrend int] [--bloom --no-bloom] [--bitmap xbm-file]
[--baseline int] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION

The xflame program draws animated flames across the bottom of the
screen. The flames occasionally flare up. If a bitmap is specified,
that image will float above the flames, burning.

OPTIONS

xflame 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.

--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.

--foreground color or --fg color
The color of the flames; default red. (The background color
is always black.)

--bitmap filename
Specifies the bitmap file to use (a monochrome XBM file.)
The name "none" means not to use a bitmap at all. If
unspecified, a built-in image will be used.

The other options are arcane. If someone would care to document
them, that would be great.

--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.

XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
The window ID to use with --root.
