It depicts the Earth's continents as one island, or +nearly contiguous land masses. + +This screen saver animates the progression of the dusk terminator across +the flattened globe. It includes both satellite and flat-colored map +imagery, and can load and convert other Equirectangular-projected maps. +.SH OPTIONS +.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 \-window +Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default. +.TP 8 +.B \-root +Draw on the root window. +.TP 8 +.B \-delay \fInumber\fP +Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 20000 (0.02 seconds). +.TP 8 +.B \-speed \fIratio\fP +Speed of the animation. 0.5 means half as fast, 2 means twice as fast. +.TP 8 +.B \-wander | \-no-wander +Whether the object should wander around the screen. Default yes. +.TP 8 +.B \-roll | \-no-roll +Whether the object should roll randomly. Default yes. +.TP 8 +.B \-stars | \-no-stars +Whether to display a star field. Default yes. +.TP 8 +.B \-grid | \-no-grid +Whether to overlay a latitude/longitude grid over the map. Default yes. +.TP 8 +.B \-flat +Display a flat-colored map of the Earth. This is the default. +.TP 8 +.B \-satellite +Display a day-time satellite map of the Earth. +.TP 8 +.B \-image \fIfile\fP +An image to use for the day-time map. +.TP 8 +.B \-image2 \fIfile\fP +An image to use for the night-time map. +The two images can be the same: the night-time one will be darkened. +.TP 8 +.B \-frames \fInumber\fP +The number of frames in the day/night animation. Default 720. +Larger numbers are smoother, but use more memory. +The day/night animation happens if \fIimage2\fP is set, or +if \fIframes\fP is greater than 1. +.TP 8 +.B \-wireframe | \-no-wireframe +Render in wireframe instead of solid. +.TP 8 +.B \-fps | \-no-fps +Whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of the screen. +.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 +stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR X (1), +.BR xscreensaver (1) +.BR glplanet (1) +.SH COPYRIGHT +Copyright \(co 2016-2018 by Jamie Zawinski.
