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.
