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] [-wireframe]

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
               How many images to display.  Default 7.

       -scale factor
               Size of images in relation to the size of the window.  Default
               0.4.

       -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
               Speed up or slow down the animation.  0.5 means half as fast as
               the default; 2.0 means twice as fast.

       -delay number
               Per-frame delay, in microseconds.  Default: 10000 (0.01
               seconds.).

       -titles | -no-titles
               Whether to display the file names of the images beneath them.
               Default: no.

       -polaroid | -no-polaroid
               Whether to simulate images taken by an instant camera.
               Default: yes.

       -shadows | -no-shadows
               Whether to draw images with drop shadows.  Default: no.

       -font font-name
               The font to use for the initial loading screen.

       -fps    Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.

       -debug  Prints debugging info to stderr.

       -wireframe
               Another debug mode.

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.
