PYXRANDR(1)

NAME
pyrandr - primitive command line interface to RandR extension

SYNOPSIS
pyxrandr [-help] [-q] [-v] [--verbose]
RandR version 1.2 options
Per-output options
[--output <output>] [--mode <mode>] [--preferred] [--left-of <output>] [--right-of <output>] [--above <output>] [--below <output>] [--same-as <output>] [--off]
RandR version 1.0 and version 1.1 options
[-o orientation] [-s size] [-r rate]

DESCRIPTION
Xrandr is used to set the size, orientation and/or reflection of the outputs for a screen. It can also set the screen size. If invoked without any option, it will dump the state of the outputs, showing the existing modes for each of them, with a '+' after the preferred mode and a '*' after the current mode. There are a few global options; the rest modify a particular output and follow the specification of that output on the command line.

--help
    Print out a summary of the usage and exit.

-v  Print out the RandR version reported by the X server and exit.

--verbose
    causes xrandr to be more verbose. When used with -q (or without other options), xrandr will display more information about the server state. When used along with options that reconfigure the system, progress will be reported while executing the configuration changes.

-q  When this option is present, or when no configuration changes are requested, xrandr will display the current state of the system.

RandR version 1.2 options
These options are only available for X server supporting RandR version 1.2 or newer. Per-output options

--output <output>
    Selects an output to reconfigure. Use either the name of the output.

--mode <mode>
    This selects a mode. Use either the name or the XID for <mode>

--preferred
    This selects the same mode as --auto, but it doesn't automatically enable or disable the output.

--left-of, --right-of, --above, --below, --same-as <another output>
    Use one of these options to position the output relative to the position of another output. This allows convenient tiling of outputs within the screen. The position is always computed relative to the new position of the other output, so it is not valid to say --output a --left-of b --output b --left-of a.

--off
    Disables the output.

RandR version 1.1 options
These options are available for X servers supporting RandR version 1.1 or older. They are still valid for newer X servers, but they don't interact sensibly with version 1.2 options on the same command line.

-s <size index> or -s <width>x<height>
    This sets the screen size, either matching by size or using the index into the list of available sizes.

-o rotation
    This specifies the orientation of the screen, and can be one of normal, inverted, left or right.

-r rate
    This specifies the refresh rate.
