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.
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.
Name
carousel - displays multiple images rotating in a circular formation
Options
--visualvisual
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-idnumber
Draw on the specified window.
--countint
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.
--tiltXY|--no-tilt
Whether the axis of rotation should tilt, and how. -tiltX means that it will tilt toward and
away from the viewer. -tiltY means that it will tilt to the left and right of the screen.
-tiltXY (the default) means it will do both.
--titles|--no-titles
Whether to display the file names of the images beneath them. Default: yes.
--fontfont-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.)
--durationseconds
Every duration seconds, one of the images will be replaced with a new one. Default 20 seconds.
--speedratio
Speed up or slow down the animation. 0.5 means half as fast as the default; 2.0 means twice as
fast.
--delaynumber
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.
