NAME

       boxfit - fills space with a gradient of growing boxes or circles.

SYNOPSIS

       boxfit  [-display host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-delay usecs] [-count int] [-growby int] [-spacing int] [-border
       int] [-circles | -squares | -random] [-grab] [-peek] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

       Packs the screen with growing boxes or circles, colored according to a horizontal or vertical gradient.	The objects grow until they touch,
       then stop.  When the screen is full, they shrink away and the process restarts.

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.

       -delay microseconds
	       How much of a delay should be introduced between steps of the animation.  Default 20000, or about 0.02 seconds.

       -count int
	       How many boxes or circles to animate simultaneously; default 50.  Smaller numbers yield larger boxes/circles.

       -growby int
	       How many pixels the objects should grow by, each frame.	Default 1.

       -spacing int
	       How many pixels of space should be left between the objects.  Default 1.

       -border int
	       Thickness of the colored border around each object.  Default 1.

       -circles | -squares | -random
	       Draw circles, squares, or choose randomly (the default).

       -grab   Normally  it  colors the boxes with a horizontal or vertical gradient.  If -grab is specified, it will instead load a random image,
	       and color the boxes according to the colors in that image.  As the picture fills in, some features  of  the  underlying	image  may
	       become recognisable.

	       When  grabbing  images,	the image will be grabbed from the portion of the screen underlying the window, or from the system's video
	       input, or from a random file on disk, as indicated by the grabDesktopImages, grabVideoFrames, and chooseRandomImages options in the
	       ~/.xscreensaver file; see xscreensaver-demo(1) for more details.

       -peek   This  option says to briefly show you the underlying image before beginning.  The default is not to show the unadulterated image at
	       all.  (This only has an effect when -grab is used.)

       -fps    Display the current frame rate and CPU load.

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.
