xflame(6)

NAME
xflame - draws animated flames

SYNOPSIS
xflame [-display host:display.screen] [-window] [-root] [-install] [-visual visual] [-foreground color] [-hspread int] [-vspread int] [-residual int] [-variance int] [-vartrend int] [-bloom -no-bloom] [-bitmap xbm-file] [-baseline int] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION
The xflame program draws animated flames across the bottom of the screen. The flames occasionally flare up. If a bitmap is specified, that image will float above the flames, burning.

OPTIONS
xflame accepts the following options:

-window
    Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.

-root
    Draw on the root window.

-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.

-foreground color or -fg color
    The color of the flames; default red. (The background color is always black.)

-bitmap filename
    Specifies the bitmap file to use (a monochrome XBM file.) The name "none" means not to use a bitmap at all. If unspecified, a built-in image will be used.

The other options are arcane. If someone would care to document them, that would be great.

-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.
