At present there are 3 display arrangements or "templates":
1. The default style 2. showcase style 3. textmenu style
1. No extra args needed. Thumbs will be centred, and as large as space restraints allow.
2. -showcase IMAGE|VIDEO : will produce an arrangement with small buttons on
the side and the showcase image/video in the centre.
If no IMAGE or VIDEO argument is supplied, the central thumb will be omitted.
3. -textmenu : no thumbs will be made, text will be used instead. You can
still make an animated menu however by using a video for the background.
(-background VIDEO)
The -titles arguments should be double-quoted, with special characters (like ", !, *, &, ?) back-
slash-escaped. These titles are used for labelling thumbnails on the main menu, and for the submenu
title for that video. ( see also -submenu-titles )
The -showcase and -textmenu styles can use longer titles that the default arrangement. With -showcase
style, use: "-showcase-titles-align west" to give more space for the title, or use ""-show-
case-titles-align east" to allow titles of more than one line.
The default style can only show about 16 characters (depending on the number of thumbs, and what
-thumb-font and -thumb-fontsize you use). If your titles are too long to fit in the label area, you
may try using sub-menus, which can display longer titles, for example:
$ todisc -submenus \
-files file1.mpg file2.mpg ... \
-titles "Short 1" "Short 2" \
-submenu-titles "Long Title One" "Long Title Two" \
-out foo
The "-align" argument will position both titles and thumbs either south, north east, west, southwest,
northwest, southeast, northeast, subject to certain constraints of each arrangement.
