mirrorblob(6) XScreenSaver manual mirrorblob(6) NAME mirrorblob - Draws a wobbly blob that distorts the image behind it. SYNOPSIS mirrorblob [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number] [--wire] [--delay number] [--fog] [--walls] [--colour] [--texture] [--offset-texture] [--blend] [--antialias] [--reso- lution number] [--bumps number] [--fade-time number] [--hold-time number] [--zoom number] [--fps] DESCRIPTION Draws a wobbling blob, making use of alpha blending, fog, textures, and lighting, plus a ``frames per second'' meter so that you can tell how fast your graphics card is... Requires OpenGL. 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. --wire Render in wireframe instead of solid. --delay number Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 10000 (0.01 seconds.). --fog | --no-fog Whether to enable fog. --walls | --no-walls Add walls for blob to hit. --colour | --no-colour Draw coloured blob. If also textured, the texture will have color mixed in. --texture | --no-texture Whether to wrap a texture image on the blob. --offset_texture | --no-offset_texture Whether to ofset the texture calculations to only use a region of the image under the blob. This works well with a semi-transparent blob. --blend | --no-blend Whether to draw a transparent blob. (see also offset_texture above) --antialias | --no-antialias Whether to antialias lines. --resolution number Resolution of the tessellation used to calculate and draw the blob. Larger numbers give a smoother blob but increase calculation times expo- nentially. --bumps number Number of bumps used to distort the blob. --hold-time number Time until loading a new image. --fade-time number Time taken to transition between images. --zoom number Size multiplier for blob. --fps Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count. 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. SEE ALSO X(1), xscreensaver(1) COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2003 by Jon Dowdall.
