Description
The zoom program takes an image, magnifies it, and scrolls around it, fatbits-style.
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.
Name
zoom - wander around magnified desktop
Options
zoom accepts the following options:
--window
Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
--root Draw on the root window.
--window-idnumber
Draw on the specified window.
--mono If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
--install
Install a private colormap for the window.
--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.
--delaymicroseconds
Slow it down.
--durationseconds
How long to run before loading a new image. Default 120 seconds.
--lenses
Instead of doing magnification we just copy an offset region from the original image. If
lensoffsetx < pixwidth (and similarly for Y) then consecutive regions will overlap, giving the
effect of looking through an array of lenses.
--pixwidthpixels
Width of the magnified pixels.
--pixheightpixels
Height of the magnified pixels.
--pixspacexpixels
Amount of black space between magnified pixels (X direction).
--pixspaceypixels
Amount of black space between magnified pixels (Y direction).
--lensoffsetxpixels
Distance in X direction between consecutive copied regions (only effective when -lenses used).
--lensoffsetypixels
Distance in Y direction between consecutive copied regions (only effective when -lenses used).
ENVIRONMENTDISPLAY 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.
