xlogo - Man Page

xlogo [-toolkitoption ...]

The xlogo program displays the X Window System logo.

Xlogo accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options, as well as the following:

-render

This option indicates that the logo should be drawn with anti-aliased edges using the RENDER extension.

-sharp

If -render is also specified, this forces the edges to be rendered in sharp mode, (ie. 1-bit alpha channel).

-shape

This option indicates that the logo window should be shaped rather than rectangular.

-help

This option indicates that xlogo should print a usage message and exit.

-version

This option indicates that xlogo should print version info and exit.

The default width and the default height are each 100 pixels. This program uses the Logo widget in the Athena widget set.  It understands all of the Simple widget resource names and classes as well as:

foreground (class Foreground)

Specifies the color for the logo.  The default is depends on whether reverseVideo is specified.  If reverseVideo is specified the default is XtDefaultForeground, otherwise the default is XtDefaultBackground.

shapeWindow (class ShapeWindow)

Specifies that the window is shaped to the X logo.  The default is False.

In order to specify resources, it is useful to know the hierarchy of the widgets which compose xlogo.  In the notation below, indentation indicates hierarchical structure.  The widget class name is given first, followed by the widget instance name.
