40 <br><dt>-noGUI<dd><a name="index-noGUI_002c-option-436"></a>Suppresses all GUI functions of XBoard
41 (to speed up automated ultra-fast engine-engine games, which you don't want to watch).
42 There will be no board or clock updates, no printing of moves,
43 and no update of the icon on the task bar in this mode.
44 <br><dt>-logoSize N<dd><a name="index-logoSize_002c-option-437"></a>This option controls the drawing of player logos next to the clocks.
45 The integer N specifies the width of the logo in pixels;
46 the logo height will always be half the width.
47 When N = 0, no logos will be diplayed.
49 <br><dt>-firstLogo imagefile<dt>-secondLogo imagefile<dd><a name="index-firstLogo_002c-option-438"></a><a name="index-secondLogo_002c-option-439"></a>Specify the images to be used as player logos when <code>logoSize</code>
50 is non-zero, next to the white and black clocks, respectively.
51 <br><dt>-autoLogo true/false<br><dt>-logoDir filename<dd><a name="index-autoLogo_002c-option-440"></a><a name="index-logoDir_002c-option-441"></a>When <code>autoLogo</code> is set, XBoard will search for a PNG image file
52 with the name of the engine or ICS in the directory specified
53 by <code>logoDir</code>.
54 <br><dt>-recentEngines number<dt>-recentEngineList list<dd><a name="index-recentEngines_002c-option-442"></a><a name="index-recentEngineList_002c-option-443"></a>When the number is larger than zero, it determines how many recently
55 used engines will be appended at the bottom of the ‘<samp><span class="samp">Engines</span></samp>’ menu.
56 The engines will be saved in your settings file as the option
57 <code>recentEngineList</code>, by their nicknames,
58 and the most recently used one will always be sorted to the top.
59 If the list after that is longer than the specified number,
60 the last one is discarded.
61 Changes in the list will only become visible the next session,
62 provided you saved the settings.
64 <br><dt>-autoInstall list<dd><a name="index-autoInstall_002c-option-444"></a>When the list is set to a non-empty string, XBoard will scan the
65 operating system's plugin directory for engines supporting UCI
66 and XBoard protocol at startup.
67 When it finds an engine that was installed after it last saved
68 its settings, a line to launch that engine (as per specs in
69 the plugin file) is appended to the -firstChessProgramNames
70 list of installed engines.
71 In the future it will be possible to use the list to limit
72 this automatic adding of engines to a certain types of variants.
73 <br><dt>-oneClickMove true/false<dd><a name="index-oneClickMove_002c-option-445"></a>When set, this option allows you to enter moves by only clicking the to-
74 or from-square, when only a single legal move to or from that square
76 Double-clicking a piece (or clicking an already selected piece)
77 will instruct that piece to make the only capture it can legally do.
79 <br><dt>-movesound/-xmovesound or -ringBellAfterMoves true/false<dd><a name="index-movesound_002c-option-446"></a><a name="index-bell_002c-option-447"></a><a name="index-ringBellAfterMoves_002c-option-448"></a>Sets the Move Sound menu option. See <a href="Options-Menu.html#Options-Menu">Options Menu</a>. Default: false.
80 For compatibility with old XBoard versions, -bell/-xbell are also
81 accepted as abbreviations for this option.
82 <br><dt>-exit/-xexit or -popupExitMessage true/false<dd><a name="index-exit_002c-option-449"></a><a name="index-popupExitMessage_002c-option-450"></a>Sets the Popup Exit Message menu option. See <a href="Options-Menu.html#Options-Menu">Options Menu</a>. Default: true.
83 <br><dt>-popup/-xpopup or -popupMoveErrors true/false<dd><a name="index-popup_002c-option-451"></a><a name="index-popupMoveErrors_002c-option-452"></a>Sets the Popup Move Errors menu option. See <a href="Options-Menu.html#Options-Menu">Options Menu</a>. Default: false.
84 <br><dt>-queen/-xqueen or -alwaysPromoteToQueen true/false<dd><a name="index-queen_002c-option-453"></a><a name="index-alwaysPromoteToQueen_002c-option-454"></a>Sets the Always Queen menu option. See <a href="Options-Menu.html#Options-Menu">Options Menu</a>. Default: false.
85 <br><dt>-sweepPromotions true/false<dd><a name="index-sweepPromotion_002c-option-455"></a>Sets the ‘<samp><span class="samp">Almost Always Promote to Queen</span></samp>’ menu option.
86 See <a href="Options-Menu.html#Options-Menu">Options Menu</a>. Default: false.
87 <br><dt>-legal/-xlegal or -testLegality true/false<dd><a name="index-legal_002c-option-456"></a><a name="index-testLegality_002c-option-457"></a>Sets the Test Legality menu option. See <a href="Options-Menu.html#Options-Menu">Options Menu</a>. Default: true.
88 <br><dt>-size or -boardSize (sizeName | n1,n2,n3,n4,n5,n6,n7)<dd><a name="index-size_002c-option-458"></a><a name="index-boardSize_002c-option-459"></a><a name="index-board-size-460"></a>Determines how large the board will be, by selecting the pixel size
89 of the pieces and setting a few related parameters.
90 The sizeName can be one of: Titanic, giving 129x129 pixel pieces,
91 Colossal 116x116, Giant 108x108, Huge 95x95, Big 87x87, Large 80x80, Bulky 72x72,
92 Medium 64x64, Moderate 58x58, Average 54x54, Middling 49x49, Mediocre
93 45x45, Small 40x40, Slim 37x37, Petite 33x33, Dinky 29x29, Teeny 25x25,
95 Xboard installs with a set of scalable (svg) piece images,
96 which it scales to any of the requested sizes.
97 The square size can further be continuously scaled by sizing the board window,
98 but this only adapts the size of the pieces,
99 and has no effect on the width of the grid lines or the font choice
100 (both of which would depend on he selected boardSize).
101 The default depends on the size of your screen; it is approximately the
102 largest size that will fit without clipping.
104 <p>You can select other sizes or vary other layout parameters by providing
105 a list of comma-separated values (with no spaces) as the argument.
106 You do not need to provide all the values; for any you omit from the
107 end of the list, defaults are taken from the nearest built-in size.
108 The value <code>n1</code> gives the piece size, <code>n2</code> the width of the
110 between squares, <code>n3</code> the desired size for the
111 clockFont, <code>n4</code> the desired size for the coordFont,
112 <code>n5</code> the desired size for the messageFont,
113 <code>n6</code> the smallLayout flag (0 or 1),
114 and <code>n7</code> the tinyLayout flag (0 or 1).
115 All dimensions are in pixels.
116 If the border between squares is eliminated (0 width), the various
117 highlight options will not work, as there is nowhere to draw the highlight.
118 If smallLayout is 1 and <code>titleInWindow</code> is true,
119 the window layout is rearranged to make more room for the title.
120 If tinyLayout is 1, the labels on the menu bar are abbreviated
121 to one character each and the buttons in the button bar are made narrower.
122 <br><dt>-overrideLineGap n<dd><a name="index-overrideLineGap_002c-option-461"></a>When n >= 0, this forces the width of the black border between squares
123 to n pixels for any board size. Mostly used to suppress the grid
124 entirely by setting n = 0, e.g. in xiangqi or just getting a prettier
125 picture. When n < 0 this the size-dependent width of the grid lines
126 is used. Default: -1.
127 <br><dt>-coords/-xcoords or -showCoords true/false<dd><a name="index-coords_002c-option-462"></a><a name="index-showCoords_002c-option-463"></a>Sets the Show Coords menu option. See <a href="Options-Menu.html#Options-Menu">Options Menu</a>. Default: false.
128 The <code>coordFont</code> option specifies what font to use.
129 <br><dt>-autoraise/-xautoraise or -autoRaiseBoard true/false<dd><a name="index-autoraise_002c-option-464"></a><a name="index-autoRaiseBoard_002c-option-465"></a>Sets the Auto Raise Board menu option. See <a href="Options-Menu.html#Options-Menu">Options Menu</a>. Default: true.
130 <br><dt>-autoflip/-xautoflip or -autoFlipView true/false<dd><a name="index-autoflip_002c-option-466"></a><a name="index-autoFlipView_002c-option-467"></a>Sets the Auto Flip View menu option. See <a href="Options-Menu.html#Options-Menu">Options Menu</a>. Default: true.
131 <br><dt>-flip/-xflip or -flipView true/false<dd><a name="index-flip_002c-option-468"></a><a name="index-flipView_002c-option-469"></a>If Auto Flip View is not set, or if you are observing but not participating
132 in a game, then the positioning of the board at the start of each game
133 depends on the flipView option. If flipView is false (the default),
134 the board is positioned so that the white pawns move from the bottom to the
135 top; if true, the black pawns move from the bottom to the top.
136 In any case, the Flip menu option (see <a href="Options-Menu.html#Options-Menu">Options Menu</a>)
137 can be used to flip the board after
139 <br><dt>-title/-xtitle or -titleInWindow true/false<dd><a name="index-title_002c-option-470"></a><a name="index-titleInWindow_002c-option-471"></a>If this option is true, XBoard displays player names (for ICS
140 games) and game file names (for ‘<samp><span class="samp">Load Game</span></samp>’) inside its main
141 window. If the option is false (the default), this information is
142 displayed only in the window banner. You probably won't want to
143 set this option unless the information is not showing up in the
144 banner, as happens with a few X window managers.
145 <br><dt>-buttons/-xbuttons or -showButtonBar True/False<dd><a name="index-buttons_002c-option-472"></a><a name="index-showButtonBar_002c-option-473"></a>If this option is False, xboard omits the [<<] [<] [P] [>] [>>] button
146 bar from the window, allowing the message line to be wider. You can
147 still get the functions of these buttons using the menus or their keyboard
148 shortcuts. Default: true.
149 <br><dt>-evalZoom factor<dd><a name="index-evalZoom_002c-option-474"></a>The score interval (-1,1) is blown up on the vertical axis of
150 the Evaluation Graph by the given factor.
152 <br><dt>-evalThreshold n<dd><a name="index-evalThreshold_002c-option-475"></a>Score below n (centiPawn) are plotted as 0 in the Evaluation Graph.
154 <br><dt>-mono/-xmono or -monoMode true/false<dd><a name="index-mono_002c-option-476"></a><a name="index-monoMode_002c-option-477"></a>Determines whether XBoard displays its pieces and squares with
155 two colors (true) or four (false). You shouldn't have to
156 specify <code>monoMode</code>; XBoard will determine if it is necessary.
157 <br><dt>-showTargetSquares true/false<dd><a name="index-showTargetSquares_002c-option-478"></a>Determines whether XBoard can highlight the squares a piece has
158 legal moves to, when you grab that piece with the mouse.
160 <br><dt>-flashCount count<dt>-flashRate rate<dt>-flash/-xflash<dd><a name="index-flashCount_002c-option-479"></a><a name="index-flashRate_002c-option-480"></a><a name="index-flash_002c-option-481"></a><a name="index-xflash_002c-option-482"></a>These options enable flashing of pieces when they
161 land on their destination square.
162 <code>flashCount</code>
163 tells XBoard how many times to flash a piece after it
164 lands on its destination square.
165 <code>flashRate</code>
166 controls the rate of flashing (flashes/sec).
169 sets flashCount to 3.
171 sets flashCount to 0.
172 Defaults: flashCount=0 (no flashing), flashRate=5.
173 <br><dt>-highlight/-xhighlight or -highlightLastMove true/false<dd><a name="index-highlight_002c-option-483"></a><a name="index-highlightLastMove_002c-option-484"></a>Sets the Highlight Last Move menu option. See <a href="Options-Menu.html#Options-Menu">Options Menu</a>. Default: false.
174 <br><dt>-highlightMoveWithArrow true/false<dd><a name="index-highlight-Arrow_002c-option-485"></a><a name="index-highlightMoveWithArrow_002c-option-486"></a>Sets the Highlight with Arrow menu option. See <a href="Options-Menu.html#Options-Menu">Options Menu</a>. Default: false.
175 <br><dt>-blind/-xblind or -blindfold true/false<dd><a name="index-blind_002c-option-487"></a><a name="index-blindfold_002c-option-488"></a>Sets the Blindfold menu option. See <a href="Options-Menu.html#Options-Menu">Options Menu</a>. Default: false.
176 <br><dt>-periodic/-xperiodic or -periodicUpdates true/false<dd><a name="index-periodic_002c-option-489"></a><a name="index-periodicUpdates_002c-option-490"></a>Controls updating of current move andnode counts in analysis mode. Default: true.
177 <br><dt>-fSAN<dt>-sSAN<dd><a name="index-fSAN_002c-option-491"></a><a name="index-sSAN_002c-option-492"></a>Causes the PV in thinking output of the mentioned engine to be converted
178 to SAN before it is further processed.
179 Warning: this might lose engine output not understood by the parser,
180 and uses a lot of CPU power.
181 Default: the PV is displayed exactly as the engine produced it.
182 <br><dt>-showEvalInMoveHistory true/false<dd><a name="index-showEvalInMoveHistory_002c-option-493"></a>Controls whether the evaluation scores and search depth of engine moves
183 are displayed with the move in the move-history window.
185 <br><dt>-clockFont font<dd><a name="index-clockFont_002c-option-494"></a><a name="index-Font_002c-clock-495"></a>The font used for the clocks. If the option value is a pattern
186 that does not specify the font size, XBoard tries to choose an
187 appropriate font for the board size being used.
188 Default Xaw: -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal–*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*.
189 Default GTK: Sans Bold %d.
190 <br><dt>-coordFont font<dd><a name="index-coordFont_002c-option-496"></a><a name="index-Font_002c-coordinates-497"></a>The font used for rank and file coordinate labels if <code>showCoords</code>
191 is true. If the option value is a pattern that does not specify
192 the font size, XBoard tries to choose an appropriate font for
193 the board size being used.
194 Default Xaw: -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal–*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*.
195 Default GTK: Sans Bold %d.
196 <br><dt>-messageFont font<dd><a name="index-messageFont_002c-option-498"></a><a name="index-Font_002c-message-499"></a>The font used for popup dialogs, menus, etc.
197 If the option value is a pattern that does not specify
198 the font size, XBoard tries to choose an appropriate font for
199 the board size being used.
200 Default Xaw: -*-helvetica-medium-r-normal–*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*.
201 Default GTK: Sans Bold %d.
202 <a name="index-tagsFont_002c-option-500"></a><a name="index-Font_002c-tags-501"></a>The font used in the Edit Tags dialog.
203 If the option value contains %d, XBoard will replace it by
204 an appropriate font for the board size being used.
205 (Only used in GTK build.)
206 Default: Sans Normal %d.
207 <a name="index-commentFont_002c-option-502"></a><a name="index-Font_002c-comment-503"></a>The font used in the Edit Comment dialog.
208 If the option value contains %d, XBoard will replace it by

210 (Only used in GTK build.)
211 Default: Sans Normal %d.
212 <a name="index-icsFont_002c-option-504"></a><a name="index-Font_002c-ics-505"></a>The font used to display ICS output in the ICS Chat window.
213 As ICS output often contains tables aligned by spaces,
214 a mono-space font is recommended here.
215 If the option value contains %d, XBoard will replace it by
216 an appropriate font for the board size being used.
217 (Only used in GTK build.)
218 Default: Monospace Normal %d.
219 <a name="index-moveHistoryFont_002c-option-506"></a><a name="index-Font_002c-moveHistory-507"></a>The font used in Move History and Engine Output windows.
220 As these windows display mainly moves,
221 one could use a figurine font here.
222 If the option value contains %d, XBoard will replace it by
223 an appropriate font for the board size being used.
224 (Only used in GTK build.)
225 Default: Sans Normal %d.
226 <a name="index-gameListFont_002c-option-508"></a><a name="index-Font_002c-gameList-509"></a>The font used in the listbox of the Game List window.
227 If the option value contains %d, XBoard will replace it by

230 Default: Sans Bold %d.
231 <br><dt>-fontSizeTolerance tol<dd><a name="index-fontSizeTolerance_002c-option-510"></a>In the font selection algorithm, a nonscalable font will be preferred
232 over a scalable font if the nonscalable font's size differs
233 by <code>tol</code> pixels
234 or less from the desired size. A value of -1 will force
235 a scalable font to always be used if available; a value of 0 will
236 use a nonscalable font only if it is exactly the right size;
237 a large value (say 1000) will force a nonscalable font to always be
238 used if available. Default: 4.
239 <br><dt>-pid or -pieceImageDirectory dir<dd><a name="index-pid_002c-option-511"></a><a name="index-pieceImageDirectory_002c-option-512"></a>This options control what piece images xboard uses.
240 XBoard will look in the specified directory for an image in png
241 or svg format for every piece type, with names like BlackQueen.svg,
243 When neither of these is found (or no valid directory is specified)
244 XBoard will use the svg piece that was installed with it
245 (from the source-tree directory ‘<samp><span class="samp">svg</span></samp>’).
246 Both svg and png images will be scaled by XBoard to the required size,
247 but the png pieces lose much in quality when scaled too much.
249 <br><dt>-whitePieceColor color<dt>-blackPieceColor color<dt>-lightSquareColor color<dt>-darkSquareColor color<dt>-highlightSquareColor color<dt>-preoveHighlightColor color<dt>-lowTimeWarningColor color<dd><a name="index-Colors-513"></a><a name="index-whitePieceColor_002c-option-514"></a><a name="index-blackPieceColor_002c-option-515"></a><a name="index-lightSquareColor_002c-option-516"></a><a name="index-darkSquareColor_002c-option-517"></a><a name="index-highlightSquareColor_002c-option-518"></a><a name="index-premoveHighlightColor_002c-option-519"></a><a name="index-lowTimeWarningColor_002c-option-520"></a>Colors to use for the pieces, squares, and square highlights.
252 <pre class="example"> -whitePieceColor #FFFFCC
253 -blackPieceColor #202020
254 -lightSquareColor #C8C365
255 -darkSquareColor #77A26D
256 -highlightSquareColor #FFFF00
257 -premoveHighlightColor #FF0000
258 -lowTimeWarningColor #FF0000
260 <p>On a grayscale monitor you might prefer:
262 <pre class="example"> -whitePieceColor gray100
263 -blackPieceColor gray0
264 -lightSquareColor gray80
265 -darkSquareColor gray60
266 -highlightSquareColor gray100
267 -premoveHighlightColor gray70
268 -lowTimeWarningColor gray70
270 <p>The PieceColor options only work properly if the image files
271 defining the pieces were pure black & white
272 (possibly anti-aliased to produce gray scales
273 and semi-transparancy),
274 like the pieces images that come with the install.
275 Their effect on colored pieces is undefined.
276 The SquareColor option only have an effect
277 when no board textures are used.
278 <br><dt>-trueColors true/false<dd><a name="index-trueColors_002c-option-521"></a>When set, this option suppresses the effect of the
279 PieceColor options mentioned above.
280 This is recommended for images that are already colored.
281 <br><dt>-useBoardTexture true/false<dt>-liteBackTextureFile filename<dt>-darkBackTextureFile filename<dd><a name="index-useBoardTexture_002c-option-522"></a><a name="index-liteBackTextureFile_002c-option-523"></a><a name="index-darkBackTextureFile_002c-option-524"></a>Indicate the png image files to be used for drawing the board squares,
282 and if they should be used rather than using simple colors.
283 The algorithm for cutting squares out of a given bitmap is such that
284 the picture is perfectly reproduced when a bitmap the size of
285 the complete board is given.
286 If the filename ends in "-NxM.png", with integer N and M,
287 it is assumed to contain a bitmap of a complete board of N files
288 and M ranks, and XBoard will scale it to exactly match the
290 If N=M=0 it scales the entire bitmap to the size of the board,
291 irrespective of the number of files and ranks of the latter.
292 Without any -NxM suffix textures are only blown up by an integer
293 factor when they are smaller than the square size, or,
294 when the name starts with "xq", too small to cover the
295 complete Xiangqi board.
296 Default: false and ""
297 <br><dt>-drag/-xdrag or -animateDragging true/false<dd><a name="index-drag_002c-option-525"></a><a name="index-animateDragging_002c-option-526"></a>Sets the Animate Dragging menu option. See <a href="Options-Menu.html#Options-Menu">Options Menu</a>. Default: true.
