carousel(6) XScreenSaver manual carousel(6) 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 sec- onds] [--fps] [--debug] [--wireframe] DESCRIPTION Loads several random images, and displays them flying in a circular forma- tion. 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 tex- tures. To specify the directory that images are loaded from, run xscreensaver-set- tings(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. De- fault: yes. --font font-name The font to use for titles. Note that the size of the font affects 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 seconds.). --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 re- sources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property. XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW The window ID to use with --root.
