NAME
blitspin - rotate a bitmap in an interesting way
SYNOPSIS
blitspin [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-back‐
ground color] [-window] [-root] [-mono] [-install] [-visual visual]
[-bitmap filename] [-delay usecs] [-delay2 usecs] [-duration secs]
DESCRIPTION
The blitspin program repeatedly rotates a bitmap by 90 degrees by using
logical operations: the bitmap is divided into quadrants, and the quad‐
rants are shifted clockwise. Then the same thing is done again with
progressively smaller quadrants, except that all sub-quadrants of a
given size are rotated in parallel. So this takes O(16*log2(N)) blits
of size NxN, with the limitation that the image must be square, and the
size must be a power of 2.
OPTIONS
blitspin 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.
-bitmap filename
The file name of a bitmap to rotate. It need not be square: it
will be padded with the background color. If unspecified or
the string (default), a builtin bitmap is used.
If support for the XPM library was enabled at compile-time, the
specified file may be in XPM format as well as XBM, and thus
may be a color image.
The *bitmapFilePath resource will be searched if the bitmap
name is not a fully-qualified pathname.
-grab-screen
If this option is specified, then the image which is spun will
be grabbed from the portion of the screen underlying the blit‐
spin window, or from the system's video input, or from a random
file on disk, as indicated by the grabDesktopImages, grabVide‐
oFrames, and chooseRandomImages options in the ~/.xscreensaver
file; see xscreensaver-demo(1) for more details.
-delay microseconds
How long to delay between steps of the rotation process, in
microseconds. Default is 500000, one-half second.
-duration seconds
How long to run before loading a new image. Default 120 sec‐
onds.
-delay2 microseconds
How long to delay between each 90-degree rotation, in microsec‐
onds. Default is 500000, one-half second. DISPLAY to get the
default host and display number.
-fps Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
ENVIRONMENT
XENVIRONMENT to get the name of a resource file that overrides the
global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
