This manual page documents briefly the pngphoon command.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
pngphoon is a program that creates a PNG image of the current phase of the moon. It is a successor to xphoon but does not write to the root window, but to a file. You can use it with window managers that accept commands for their background image settings. It is pronounced "pingphoon" (like "typhoon").
This program takes the following options.
-h |
Mandatory. Gives the image height. The image must be at least 760px high to be able to contain the moon. If the image is smaller only the stars will be plotted. |
||
-w |
Mandatory. Gives the image width. The image must be at least 760px wide to be able to contain the moon. If the image is smaller only the stars will be plotted. |
||
-f |
Mandatory. File name the PNG image shall be written to, for output to stdout use − instead of a filename |
||
-x |
Number of moons in x axis (for multihead configurations) |
||
-y |
Number of moons in y axis (for multihead configurations) |
||
-s |
Star density |
||
-b |
Black (no earthlight) |
