wmpuzzle

wmpuzzle(6)							   Version 0.5.1						       wmpuzzle(6)

NAME

       wmpuzzle - WindowMaker dock app 4x4 puzzle

SYNOPSIS

       wmpuzzle [options] [xpm image file]

DESCRIPTION

       wmpuzzle  provides  a 4x4 puzzle on a 64x64 mini window.  It is designed to work with the WindowMaker dock, but will work with other window
       managers as well.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      displays a command line summary.

       -a, --auto-save
	      automatically save the puzzle state on program exit.

       -k, --keyboard
	      enable use of the keyboard for arrow-key navigation.

       -s, --shuffle=count
	      shuffle the image count times, defaults to 2000.	Using -s prevents loading the saved state from the resource file.

       -v, --version
	      displays the version number.

       --display=id
	      Set the display to use, e.g. --display=:0.0.

       --geometry=pos
	      Set the position of the dock app, e.g. --geometry=+10+10. Note that the size (64x64) is hard-coded and cannot be changed.

       The image file must be an XPM file with minimum (and recommended) size of 48x48 pixels. If it is larger then the upper left corner will	be
       shown.

USAGE

       Left mouse click moves the puzzle tiles, right click saves the current state and middle click recovers the last saved state. If -k has been
       specified the arrow keys and key s and key r will do as well.

       If the picture has been completed the last element will be shown.

FILES

       ~/.wmpuzzlerc
	      contains the puzzling state of the images. The basename of an image file will be used as its identifier. Use  option  -s	to  ignore
	      this file on startup.

BUGS

       When wmpuzzle complains about not enough free color symbols that's because it needs to add six colors to the XPM's color table and found no
       free symbols using the according number of characters per pixel.  Try to find some unused entries, delete them and correct the size of  the
       color table (the third number in the first line), or enlarge the number of characters per pixel using some imaging program.

       Please	send   any   bugs   to	 <martin@godisch.de>.	Debian	 users	 are   encouraged  to  use  the  Debian  Bug  Tracking	System	at
       http://bugs.debian.org/wmpuzzle.
