NAME

       Spotlighter -  gtk interface to make annotations on the screen

SYNOPSIS

       spotlighter

DESCRIPTION

       spotlighter  is a tool that shows a movable and resizable spotlight on the desktop.  This is especially useful when making presentations to
       hide and unhide things.	It has been implemented for educational purposes.

       Move and resize the spotlight with fast gestures on the spotlight.

       Click on the white cross in the top right corner to quit the program.

       Spotlighter is XInput-Aware, so you can use it with a graphic tablet or a whiteboard.

NAME

       Gromit - Presentation helper to make annotations on screen

SYNOPSIS

       gromit [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Gromit  enables	you  to  make annotations on your screen. It can run in the background and be activated on demand to let you draw over all
       your currently running applications. The drawing will stay on screen as long as you want, you can continue to use your  applications  while
       the drawing is visible.
       Gromit is XInput-Aware, so if you have a graphic tablet you can draw lines with different strength, color, erase things, etc.
       Since  you  typically  want  to	use  the program you are demonstrating and highlighting something is a short interruption of you workflow,
       Gromit is activated by either a hotkey or a repeated invokation of Gromit (the latter can e.g. used by other applications or  your  window-
       manager).

KEYBOARD CONTROL

       By  default,  Gromit  grabs  the "Pause" key (this can be change using the "--key" option), making it unavailable to other application. The
       available shortcuts are:

       Pause  toggle painting

       SHIFT-Pause
	      clear screen

       CTRL-Pause
	      toggle visibility

       ALT-Pause
	      quit Gromit

OPTIONS (STARTUP)
       A short summary of the available commandline arguments for invoking Gromit, see below for the options to control an already running  Gromit
       process:

       -a, --active
	      start Gromit and immediately activate it.

       -k <keysym>, --key <keysym>
	      will change the key used to grab the mouse. <keysym> can e.g. be "Pause", "F12", "Control_R" or "Print". To determine the keysym for
	      different keys you can use the xev(1) command. You can specify "none" to prevent Gromit from grabbing a key.

       -K <keycode>, --keycode <keycode>
	      will change the key used to grab the mouse. Under rare circumstances identifying the key with the keysym can fail. You can then  use
	      the keycode to specify the key uniquely. To determine the keycode for different keys you can use the xev(1) command.

       -d, --debug
	      gives some debug output.

OPTIONS (CONTROL)
       A  sort summary of the available commandline arguments to control an already running Gromit process, see above for the options available to
       start Gromit.

       -q, --quit
	      will cause the main Gromit process to quit.

       -t, --toggle
	      will toggle the grabbing of the cursor.

       -v, --visibility
	      will toggle the visibility of the window.

       -c, --clear
	      will clear the screen.

BUGS

       Gromit may drastically slow down your X-Server, especially when you draw very thin lines. It makes heavily  use	of  the  shape	extension,
       which is quite expensive if you paint a complex pattern on screen. Especially terminal-programs tend to scroll incredibly slow if something
       is painted over their window. There is nothing I can do about this.
       Gromit partially disables DnD, since it lays a transparent window across the whole screen and everything gets "dropped" to this (invisible)
       window.	Gromit tries to minimize this effect: When you clear the screen the shaped window will be hidden. It will be resurrected, when you
       want to paint something again. However: The window does not hide, if you erase everything with the eraser  tool,  you  have  to	clear  the
       screen explicitly with the "gromit --clear" command or hide Gromit with "gromit --visibility".
