NAME
       photopile - displays multiple images in a periodically shuffled pile

SYNOPSIS
       photopile  [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window]
       [--root]	[--window-id number] [--count int] [--scale factor] [--maxTilt
       degrees]	[--titles | --no-titles] [--polaroid | --no-polaroid] [--shad-
       ows | --no-shadows] [--font font] [--speed ratio] [--duration  seconds]
       [--fps] [--debug] [--wireframe]

DESCRIPTION
       Loads  several random images, and displays them as if lying in a	random
       pile.  The pile is periodically reshuffled, with	new images  coming  in
       and old ones being thrown 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.

       --scale factor
	       Size  of	images in relation to the size of the window.  Default
	       0.4.

       --maxTilt degrees
	       Maximum deviation from vertical.	 Default 50 degrees.

       --duration seconds
	       Every duration seconds, one of the images will be replaced with
	       a new one.  Default 5 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:  10000  (0.01  sec-

	       The  font  to  use for the initial loading screen and for image
	       titles.
