NAME
       boxfit - fills space with a gradient of growing boxes or circles.

SYNOPSIS
       boxfit [-display host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window]
       [-root] [-delay usecs] [-count int] [-growby int] [-spacing int]
       [-border int] [-circles | -squares | -random] [-grab] [-peek] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION
       Packs the screen with growing boxes or circles, colored according to a
       horizontal or vertical gradient.  The objects grow until they touch,
       then stop.  When the screen is full, they shrink away and the process
       restarts.

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.

       -delay microseconds
               How much of a delay should be introduced between steps of the
               animation.  Default 20000, or about 0.02 seconds.

       -count int
               How many boxes or circles to animate simultaneously; default
               50.  Smaller numbers yield larger boxes/circles.

       -growby int
               How many pixels the objects should grow by, each frame.
               Default 1.

       -spacing int
               How many pixels of space should be left between the objects.
               Default 1.

       -border int
               Thickness of the colored border around each object.  Default 1.

       -circles | -squares | -random
               Draw circles, squares, or choose randomly (the default).

       -grab   Normally it colors the boxes with a horizontal or vertical
               gradient.  If -grab is specified, it will instead load a random
               image, and color the boxes according to the colors in that
               image.  As the picture fills in, some features of the
               underlying image may become recognisable.

               When grabbing images, the image 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.

       -peek   This option says to briefly show you the underlying image
               before beginning.  The default is not to show the unadulterated
               image at all.  (This only has an effect when -grab is used.)

       -fps    Display the current frame rate and CPU load.

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.
