NAME

       pngphoon — Creates a png file with the current phase of the moon

SYNOPSIS

       pngphoon  [-w  width]  [-h height]  [-f filename]  [-x moons_in_x]  [-y
       moons_in_y]  [-s density]  [-b]

DESCRIPTION

       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").

OPTIONS

       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)
