NAME

       slip - sucks your screen into a jet engine


SYNOPSIS

       slip [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background
       color] [-window] [-root] [-mono] [-install] [-visual visual] [-ncolors
       integer] [-iterations integer] [-points integer] [-delay microseconds]
       [-delay2 microseconds] [-fps]


DESCRIPTION

       The slip program does lots of blits and chews up an image.

       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

       slip 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 class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
               visual.

               How many colors should be used (if possible).  Default 200.
               The colors used cycle through the hue, making N stops around
               the color wheel.

       -delay microseconds
               How long we should wait between drawing each step.  Default
               50000, or about 1/20th second.

       -fps    Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
