    NAME

    xlogo – X Window System logo  

    SYNOPSIS

    xlogo [-toolkitoption …]  

    DESCRIPTION

    The xlogo program displays the X Window System logo.  

    OPTIONS

    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.
     

    RESOURCES

    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.
     

    WIDGETS

    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.
