xrefresh

XREFRESH(1)                                                   General Commands Manual                                                  XREFRESH(1)

NAME

       xrefresh - refresh all or part of an X screen

SYNOPSIS

       xrefresh [-option ...]

DESCRIPTION

       Xrefresh  is a simple X program that causes all or part of your screen to be repainted.  This is useful when system messages have messed up
       your screen.  Xrefresh maps a window on top of the desired area of the screen and then immediately unmaps it, causing refresh events to  be
       sent to all applications.  By default, a window with no background is used, causing all applications to repaint ``smoothly.''  However, the
       various options can be used to indicate that a solid background (of any color) or the root window background should be used instead.

ARGUMENTS

       -white    Use a white background.  The screen just appears to flash quickly, and then repaint.

       -black    Use a black background (in effect, turning off all of the electron guns to the tube).   This  can  be  somewhat  disorienting  as
                 everything goes black for a moment.

       -solid color
                 Use a solid background of the specified color.  Try green.

       -root     Use the root window background.

       -none     This is the default.  All of the windows simply repaint.

       -geometry WxH+X+Y
                 Specifies the portion of the screen to be repainted; see X(7).

       -display display
                 This  argument  allows  you  to  specify the server and screen to refresh; see X(7).

X DEFAULTS

       The xrefresh program uses the routine XGetDefault(3) to read defaults, so its resource names are all capitalized.

       Black, White, Solid, None, Root
               Determines what sort of window background to use.

       Geometry
               Determines the area to refresh.  Not very useful.

ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY - To get default host and display number.

SEE ALSO

       X(7)

BUGS

       It should have just one default type for the background.
