DESCRIPTION¶
Converts an image to triangles using Delaunay tessellation, and animates the
result at various depths. More triangles are allocated to visually complex
parts of the image. This is accomplished by first computing the first
derivative of the image: the distance between each pixel and its neighbors.
Then the Delaunay control points are chosen by selecting those pixels whose
distance value is above a certain threshold: those are the pixels that have
the largest change in color/brightness.
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.
- -delay number
- Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 30000 (0.03 seconds).
- -duration number
- Length of time until loading a new image. Default: 2 minutes.
- -duration2 number
- Length of time until increasing or decreasing the triangulation depth.
Default: 0.4 seconds.
- -max-depth number
- The maximum number of triangles to render. Default: 40000.
- -outline | -no-outline
- Whether to outline the triangles.
- -fill-screen | -no-fill-screen
- Whether to zoom in on the image to completely fill the screen, or to
center it.
- -fps | -no-fps
- Whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of the
screen.
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.
