DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the pngphoon command.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the
original program does not have a manual page.
pngphoon is a program that creates a PNG image of the current phase of
the moon. It is a successor to xphoon but does not write to the root
window, but to a file. You can use it with window managers that accept
commands for their background image settings. It is pronounced "pingphoon" (like "typhoon").

- -h Mandatory. Gives the image height. The image must be at least
- 760px high to be able to contain the moon. If the image is smaller only the stars will be plotted.
- -w Mandatory. Gives the image width. The image must be at least
- 760px wide to be able to contain the moon. If the image is smaller only the stars will be plotted.
- -f Mandatory. File name the PNG image shall be written to, for
