SYNOPSIS

splash logo.xpm program-or-script

splac title string

splac image new.xpm  

DESCRIPTION

Splash renders splash screens for installers and other non GUI aware application code. If invoked from a non X11 environment it remains silent but runs the client code. It displays the selected xpm images centered on the display and shaped according to the mask of the xpm. (If you want to no shape use no mask.)

splash opens a window to display the image gives as the first argument. This must be a .xpm file. Then it starts the script given as the second argument.

splac should only be called from within this script. It accepts the following arguments:

image
new.xpm Changes the image to new.xpm.
title
