NAME
       carousel	- displays multiple images rotating in a circular formation

SYNOPSIS
       carousel	 [--display  host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window]
       [--root]	 [--window-id  number]	[--count  int]	[--zoom	 |  --no-zoom]
       [--tilt	XY]  [--titles	|  --no-titles]	 [--font font] [--speed	ratio]
       [--duration seconds] [--fps] [--debug] [--wireframe]

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 xscreen-
       saver-settings(1) and click on the "Advanced" tab.

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.

       --window-id number
	       Draw on the specified window.

       --count int
	       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.

       --tilt XY | --no-tilt
	       Whether the axis	of rotation should tilt,  and  how.   -tilt  X
	       means that it will tilt toward and away from the	viewer.	 -tilt
	       Y  means	that it	will tilt to the left and right	of the screen.
	       -tilt XY	(the default) means it will do both.

       --titles	| --no-titles
	       Whether to display the file names of the	images	beneath	 them.
	       Default:	yes.

       --font font-name
	       The font	to use for titles.  Note that the size of the font af-
	       fects  the  clarity  of	the  characters, not their size	(it is
	       auto-scaled.)

       --duration seconds
	       Every duration seconds, one of the images will be replaced with
	       a new one.  Default 20 seconds.

       --speed ratio
	       Speed up	or slow	down the animation.  0.5 means half as fast as
	       the default; 2.0	means twice as fast.

       --delay number
	       Per-frame delay,	in microseconds.  Default:  20000  (0.02  sec-
	       onds.).

       --fps   Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.

       --debug Prints debugging	info to	stderr.

       --wireframe
	       Another debug mode.

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.
