NAME
zoom - wander around magified desktop
SYNOPSIS
zoom [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background color] [-window] [-root] [-mono] [-install] [-visual visual] [-delay
usecs] [-lenses] [-pixwidth pixels] [-pixheight pixels] [-pixspacex pixels] [-pixspacey pixels] [-lensoffsetx pixels] [-lensoffsety pixels]
DESCRIPTION
The zoom program takes an image, magnifies it, and scrolls around it, fatbits-style.
The image that it manipulates 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.
OPTIONS
zoom accepts the following options:
-window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
-root Draw on the root window.
-mono If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
-install
Install a private colormap for the window.
-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.
-delay microseconds
Slow it down.
-lenses Instead of doing magnification we just copy an offset region from the original image. If lensoffsetx < pixwidth (and similarly for
Y) then consecutive regions will overlap, giving the effect of looking through an array of lenses.
-pixwidth pixels
Width of the magnified pixels.
-pixheight pixels
Height of the magnified pixels.
-pixspacex pixels
Amount of black space between magnified pixels (X direction).
-pixspacey pixels
Amount of black space between magnified pixels (Y direction).
-lensoffsetx pixels
Distance in X direction between consective copied regions (only effective when -lenses used).
-lensoffsety pixels
Distance in Y direction between consective copied regions (only effective when -lenses used).
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.
