NAME

       photopile - displays multiple images in a periodically shuffled pile

SYNOPSIS

       photopile  [-display  host:display.screen]  [-visual  visual]  [-window] [-root] [-count int] [-scale factor] [-maxTilt degrees] [-titles |
       -no-titles] [-polaroid | -no-polaroid] [-shadows | -no-shadows] [-font font] [-speed ratio] [-duration  seconds]  [-fps]  [-debug]  [-wire-
       frame]

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 xscreensaver-demo(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.

       -count int

       -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
