.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fIzoom\fP 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 \fIgrabDesktopImages\fP, \fIgrabVideoFrames\fP,
and \fIchooseRandomImages\fP options in the \fI~/.xscreensaver\fP
file; see
.BR xscreensaver-demo (1)
for more details.
.SH OPTIONS
.I zoom
accepts the following options:
.TP 8
.B \-window
Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
.TP 8
.B \-root
Draw on the root window.
.TP 8
.B \-mono 
If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
.TP 8
.B \-install
Install a private colormap for the window.
.TP 8
.B \-visual \fIvisual\fP
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.
.TP 8
.B \-delay \fImicroseconds\fP
Slow it down.
.TP 8
.B \-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.
.TP 8
.B \-pixwidth \fIpixels\fP
Width of the magnified pixels.
.TP 8
.B \-pixheight \fIpixels\fP
Height of the magnified pixels.
.TP 8
.B \-pixspacex \fIpixels\fP
Amount of black space between magnified pixels (X direction).
.TP 8
.B \-pixspacey \fIpixels\fP
Amount of black space between magnified pixels (Y direction).
.TP 8
.B \-lensoffsetx \fIpixels\fP
Distance in X direction between consective copied regions (only effective
when 
.I -lenses
used).
.TP 8
.B \-lensoffsety \fIpixels\fP
Distance in Y direction between consective copied regions (only effective
when 
.I -lenses
used).
.TP 8
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.PP
.TP 8
.B DISPLAY
to get the default host and display number.
.TP 8
.B XENVIRONMENT
to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources
