DESCRIPTION
Converts an image to triangles using Delaunay tessellation, and animates
the result at various depths. More triangles are allocated to visually
complex parts of the image. This is accomplished by first computing the
first derivative of the image: the distance between each pixel and its
neighbors. Then the Delaunay control points are chosen by selecting those
pixels whose distance value is above a certain threshold: those are the
pixels that have the largest change in color/brightness.
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 number
-
Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 30000 (0.03 seconds).
- -duration number
-
Length of time until loading a new image. Default: 2 minutes.
- -duration2 number
-
Length of time until increasing or decreasing the triangulation depth.
Default: 0.4 seconds.
- -max-depth number
-
The maximum number of triangles to render. Default: 40000.
- -outline | -no-outline
-
Whether to outline the triangles.
- -fill-screen | -no-fill-screen
-
Whether to zoom in on the image to completely fill the screen,
or to center it.
- -fps | -no-fps
-
Whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of the screen.
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.
