NAME


zoom - wander around magnified desktop

SYNOPSIS


zoom [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background color] [-window] [-root] [-mono] [-install] [-visual visual] [-delay usecs] [-duration secs] [-lenses] [-pixwidth pixels] [-pixheight pixels] [-pixspacex pixels] [-pixspacey pixels] [-lensoffsetx pixels] [-lensoffsety pixels] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION


The zoom program takes an image, magnifies it, and scrolls around it, fatbits-style.

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


zoom 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.
-delay microseconds
 Slow it down.
-duration seconds
 How long to run before loading a new image. Default 120 seconds.
-lenses Instead of doing magnification we just copy an offset region from the original image. If lensoffsetx < pixwidth (and similarly for Y) then consecutive regions will overlap, giving the effect of looking through an array of lenses.
-pixwidth pixels
 Width of the magnified pixels.
-pixheight pixels
 Height of the magnified pixels.
-pixspacex pixels
 Amount of black space between magnified pixels (X direction).
-pixspacey pixels
 Amount of black space between magnified pixels (Y direction).
-lensoffsetx pixels
 Distance in X direction between consecutive copied regions (only effective when -lenses used).
-lensoffsety pixels
 Distance in Y direction between consecutive copied regions (only effective when -lenses used).

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.
