xclock - analog / digital clock for X
xclock [-help] [-analog] [-digital] [-chime] [-hd color] [-hl color] [-update seconds] [-padding number]
xclock
accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command
line options along with the additional options listed below:
This option indicates that a brief summary of the allowed
options should be printed on the standard error.
This option indicates that a conventional 12 hour clock face
with tick marks and hands should be used. This is the default.
This option indicates that a 24 hour digital clock should
be used.
This option indicates that the clock should chime once on
the half hour and twice on the hour.
This option specifies the color of the hands on an analog
clock. The default is
black.
This option specifies the color of the edges of the hands
on an analog clock, and is only useful on color displays. The default is
black.
This option specifies the frequency in seconds at which
xclock
should update its display. If the clock is obscured and
then exposed, it will be updated immediately. A value of 30 seconds or less
will enable a second hand on an analog clock. The default is 60 seconds.
This option specifies the width in pixels of the padding between
the window border and clock text or picture. The default is 10 on a digital
clock and 8 on an analog clock.
The
xclock
program displays the time in analog or
digital form. The time is continuously updated at a frequency which may be
specified by the user.
This program uses the
Clock
widget. It understands
all of the core resource names and classes as well as:
Specifies the width of the clock. The default for analog
clocks is 164 pixels; the default for digital clocks is whatever is needed
to hold the clock when displayed in the chosen font.
Specifies the height of the clock. The default for analog
clocks is 164 pixels; the default for digital clocks is whatever is needed
to hold the clock when displayed in the chosen font.
Specifies the frequency in seconds at which the time should
be redisplayed.
Specifies the color for the tic marks. The default depends
on whether
reverseVideo
is specified. If
reverseVideo
is specified the default is
lwhite, otherwise
the default is
black.
Specifies the color of the insides of the clock's hands. The
default depends on whether
reverseVideo
is specified.
If
reverseVideo
is specified the default is
lwhite, otherwise the default is
black.
Specifies the color used to highlight the clock's hands. The
default depends on whether
reverseVideo
is specified.
If
reverseVideo
is specified the default is
lwhite, otherwise the default is
black.
Specifies whether or not an analog clock should be used instead
of a digital one. The default is True.
Specifies whether or not a bell should be rung on the hour
and half hour.
Specifies the amount of internal padding in pixels to be used.
The default is 8.
Specifies the font to be used for the digital clock. Note
that variable width fonts currently will not always display correctly.
In order to specify resources, it is useful to know the hierarchy of the widgets which compose xclock. In the notation below, indentation indicates hierarchical structure. The widget class name is given first, followed by the widget instance name.
XClock xclock Clock clock
to get the default host and display number.
to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global
resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
xclock believes the system clock.
When in digital mode, the string should be centered automatically.
