DESCRIPTION¶

The imsmap program generates map or cloud-like patterns. It looks quite different in monochrome and color.

OPTIONS¶

imsmap accepts the following options:

--window

Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.

--root

--ncolors integer

How many colors to use. Default 50.

--delay integer

How long to delay between images. Default 10 seconds.

--delay2 integer

How long to delay between bitmaps. Default 200000 (0.2 seconds).

--iterations integer

A measure of the resolution of the resultant image, from 0 to 7. Default 7.

--mode [ hue | saturation | value | random ]

The axis upon which colors should be interpolated between the foreground and background color. Default random.

--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
