NAME vidwhacker - grab images and apply random filters to them SYNOPSIS vidwhacker [-display host:display.screen] [-root] [-window] [-verbose] [-stdin] [-stdout] [-delay seconds] DESCRIPTION The vidwhacker program grabs a image from the system's video input, applies random image filters to it, and displays the result. The vidwhacker program does not terminate until killed. It depends heavily on xv(1) and the various PBM tools (e.g., ppmrelief(1).) OPTIONS vidwhacker accepts the following options: -root Draw on the root window. -window Pop up a new window displaying the image. When a new image has been fully processed, destroy that window and pop up a new one. This is the default. -verbose Print diagnostics. -stdin Instead of grabbing an image from the system's video input, read an image to maniupulate from stdin. This image must be in -delay seconds How long to sleep between images. Default 3 seconds (the actual elapsed time is significantly longer, due to processing time.) ppm(5) format. The pro- gram will still perform repeated random image transformations, but it will always use this one image as its starting point. -stdout Instead of displaying the image on a window or on the root, write the new image on stdout, and exit. 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. BUGS Grabbing video images is, of course, very system-dependent. It works on SGIs, and on Linux systems that have the qcam(1) program. If your system does things differently, you'll need to edit the vidwhacker script (look for the grab() function.) It's slow. TO DO It might be interesting to rewrite this to use gimp(1) plu- gins instead of the pbm tools. It probably wouldn't be any faster, but there would be a wider variety of effects avail- able.
