PNGPHOON(1)		    General Commands Manual		   PNGPHOON(1)

NAME
       pngphoon	-- Creates a png file with the current phase of	the moon

SYNOPSIS
       pngphoon	 [-w  width]  [-h height]  [-f filename]  [-x moons_in_x]  [-y
       moons_in_y]  [-s	density]  [-b]	[-q]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page	documents briefly the pngphoon command.

       This manual page	was written for	the Debian  distribution  because  the
       original	program	does not have a	manual page.

       pngphoon	 is a program that creates a PNG image of the current phase of
       the moon. It is a successor to xphoon but does not write	 to  the  root
       window, but to a	file.  You can use it with window managers that	accept
       commands	 for their background image settings.  It is pronounced	"ping-
       phoon" (like "typhoon").

OPTIONS
       This program takes the following	options.

       -h	 Mandatory. Gives the image height. If the height  is  smaller
		 than 760px, then only the center part will be created.

       -w	 Mandatory.  Gives the image width. The	image must be at least
		 760px wide to be able to contain the moon. If	the  image  is
		 smaller only the stars	will be	plotted.

       -f	 Mandatory.  File  name	the PNG	image shall be written to, for
		 output	to stdout use ``-'' (hyphen) instead of	a filename.

       -x	 Number	of moons in x axis (for	multihead configurations)

       -y	 Number	of moons in y axis (for	multihead configurations)

       -s	 Star density

       -b	 Black (no earthlight)

       -S	 Southern hemisphere (rotate image 180 degrees)

       -q	 Quiet (disable	warnings)
