NAME
       slidescreen - permute the screen	image like an 8-puzzle

SYNOPSIS
       slidescreen   [--display	  host:display.screen]	 [--background	color]
       [--grid-size  pixels]  [--ibw  pixels]  [--increment  pixels]  [--delay
       usecs]  [--delay2  usecs] [--duration secs] [--window] [--root] [--win-
       dow-id number] [--install] [--visual visual] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION
       The slidescreen program takes an	image, divides it into a grid, deletes
       a random	square of that grid, and  then	randomly  slides  one  of  the
       neighbors of this "hole"	into the hole (and repeat.)

       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, grabVide-
       oFrames,	and chooseRandomImages options in  the	~/.xscreensaver	 file;
       see xscreensaver-settings(1) for	more details.

OPTIONS
       slidescreen 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.

       --grid-size pixels
	       The size	of the grid cells.  Default 70 pixels.

       --ibw pixels
	       The size	of the "gutter"	between	grid cells.  Default 4 pixel.

       --increment pixels
	       How  many  pixels by which a piece should be moved when sliding
	       to a new	location.  Default 10 pixels.

       --delay microseconds
	       How much	of a delay should be introduced	between	steps  of  the
	       animation  of the motion	of each	segment.  Default 50000, which
	       is 0.05 seconds.	 This is closely related  to  the  --increment
	       parameter.

       --delay2	microseconds
	       How much	of a delay should be introduced	between	the end	of the
	       motion  of  one	segment	and the	beginning of the motion	of an-
	       other.  Default 1000000,	which is one second.

       --duration seconds
	       How long	to run before loading a	new image.  Default  120  sec-
	       onds.

       --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.
