WMGRABIMAGE(1)

NAME
WMGRABIMAGE - Dockable WWW Image monitor.

SYNOPSIS
wmGrabImage [-h] [-display <Display>] -url <Image URL> [-http <URL>] [-c] [-delay <Time>]

DESCRIPTION

wmGrabImage is a WindowMaker DockApp that maintains a small thumbnail copy of your favorite image from the WWW. The image to monitor is specified via the "-url <Image URL>" command-line option and it gets updated approximately every 5 minutes. The update interval can be overridden via the "-delay <Time>" command-line option (Time is in seconds).

Each of the three mouse buttons can be double clicked with the following effects;

Left Mouse:
    Brings up the full-sized image in xv.

Middle Mouse:
    Sends a URL (specified via the -http <URL> command-line option) to an already running netscape process or in a new netscape process if there arent any running.

Right Mouse:
    Updates the image immediately.

OPTIONS

-h  Display list of command-line options.

-display [display]
    Use an alternate X Display.

-url <Image URL>
    The URL of the WWW image to monitor.

-http <URL>
    The URL to send to netscape via a Middle double click.

-c  Center the image vertically within the icon.

-delay <Time>
    The time between updates. The default is about 5 minutes.

-geom <CropGeometry>
    The geometry to pass to convert.

FILES
The original sized image and the thumbnail XPM image are both stored in ~/.wmGrabImage/ which gets created if it doesnt already exist.

SEE ALSO
wget and the ImageMagick convert utility.

BUGS
Who knows? -- its still Beta though. (Let me know if you find any). Oldish versions of the ImageMagick convert utility have a memory leak -- if you have that problem, upgrade to the latest version.
