<h3><a name="s01_06_01">1.6.1 </a>Special Command-Line Options</h3>
<p>
POV-Ray for Unix supports several special command-line options not recognized by other versions. They follow the
standards for programs that run under the X Window System.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<dl>
<dt>
<code>-display <display_name></code>
<dd>
Display preview on display_name rather than the default display. This is meant to be used to change the display
to a remote host. The normal dispay option <code>+d</code> is still valid.
<dt>
<code>-geometry [WIDTHxHEIGHT][+XOFF+YOFF]</code>
<dd>
Render the image with WIDTH and HEIGHT as the dimensions, and locate the window <code>XOFF</code> from the left
edge, and <code>YOFF</code> from the top edge of the screen (or if negative the right and bottom edges respectively).
For instance: <code>-geometry 640x480+10+20</code> creates a display for a 640x480 image placed at (10,20) pixels
from the top-left corner of the screen. The <code>WIDTH</code> and <code>HEIGHT</code>, if given, override any
previous +Wn and +Hn settings.
<dt>
<code>-help</code>
<dd>
Display the X Window System-specific options. Use <code>-H</code> by itself on the command-line to output the
general POV-Ray options.
<dt>
<code>-icon</code>
<dd>
Start the preview window as an icon.
<dt>
<code>-title <window_title></code>
<dd>
Override the default preview window title with window_title.
<dt>
<code>-visual <visual_type></code>
<dd>
Use the deepest visual of visual_type, if available, instead of the automatically selected visual. Valid visuals
are StaticGray, GrayScale, StaticColor, PseudoColor, TrueColor, or DirectColor.
</dl>

<strong>Note:</strong> if you are supplying a filename with spaces in it, you will need to enclose the
filename itself within quotes.
