TCLOCK(1)TCLOCK(1)NAMEtclock - display time of day
SYNOPSIStclock [-option ...]
DESCRIPTION
Tclock displays an analog clock with a transparent face.
OPTIONS-background background-color
specify the color of the interior of the clock
-bg background-color
same as -background
-border border-color
specify the color of the clock border
-borderWidth border-width
specify the thickness of the border - this is used as the line-
width attribute of a graphics context, so a border width of
zero still results in a thin border. If you want no border at
all, make the border color the same as the background color.
-display display-name
specify the name of the display to use
-geometry clock-geometry
specify the geometry of the clock. Note that the size specifi‐
cation of this string will be ignored; see the -scale option
for changing the size of the clock.
-scale clock-size
specify the size of the clock as a scale of the normal size.
For example, -scale 0.5 results in a clock half the size of the
default (in width and height - one-fourth the size in area),
and -scale 2.5 results in a clock two and one-half times
larger.
-tickradius tick-distance
specify the distance of each tick from the center of the clock.
Specifying zero results in no tick marks. Note that this is
adjusted by the -scale option.
-ticksize tick-size
specify the radius of each tick mark. Note that this is
adjusted by the -scale option; however, ticks do not seem to
scale well, so if you regularly start up the clock at a spe‐
cific scaling amount, you may wish to fine-tune this parameter
for best results.
-width border-width
same as -borderWidth
-xrm miscellaneous-resource
specify a resource for which no command-line option exists.
This is most often used to disable the second hand by specify‐
ing -xrm "Tclock.Second.Tip.Radius: 0".
RESOURCES
The resources equivalent to command-line options are
Tclock.geometry
Tclock.scale
Tclock.border
Tclock.background
Tclock.borderWidth
Tclock.tick.radius
Tclock.tick.size
In addition, each hand of the clock is made up of four points. You may
specify the position of each of these four points for each hand. The
hand specifications are {hour, minute, second}, and the point specifi‐
cations are {tip, right, middle, left}. Each point has two resources:
Tclock.hand.point.radius
Tclock.hand.point.offset
The radius specifies the distance in pixels of that points from the
center of the clock. The offset specifies the angle of that point as
an offset in minutes (sixtieths of a circle) from the "true" position
of the hand. Specifying a radius of zero for the tip of a hand dis‐
ables that hand.
Note that after you have fine-tuned the shapes of the hands, you can
simply use the -scale option (or the .scale resource) to get any size
clock with hands of that shape, without needing to adjust the radii of
all those points.
