SYNOPSIS
       pngphoon [-w width]  [-h height]  [-f filename]	[-x moons_in_x]  [-y moons_in_y]  [-s density]	[-b]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the pngphoon command.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       pngphoon is a program that creates a PNG image of the current phase of the moon. It is a successor to xphoon but does not write to the root
       window, but to a file.  You can use it with window managers that accept commands for their background image  settings.	It  is	pronounced
       "pingphoon" (like "typhoon").

OPTIONS
       This program takes the following options.

       -h	 Mandatory.  Gives the image height. The image must be at least 760px high to be able to contain the moon. If the image is smaller
		 only the stars will be plotted.

       -w	 Mandatory. Gives the image width. The image must be at least 760px wide to be able to contain the moon. If the image  is  smaller
		 only the stars will be plotted.

       -f	 Mandatory. File name the PNG image shall be written to, for output to stdout use - instead of a filename

       -x	 Number of moons in x axis (for multihead configurations)

       -y	 Number of moons in y axis (for multihead configurations)

       -s	 Star density
