If scale is non-zero, it becomes the scale for the graph. Uses a
logarithmic scale (to see small numbers) when you use -l switch. Takes
the switch '-t' to use a temperature gradient, which makes the
gradient values change depending on the amplitude of a particular
graph value (try it and see).

<para>Draws a horizontally scrolling graph with values from 0-100
plotted on the vertical axis. All parameters following the command
are optional. Gradient colors can be specified as hexadecimal
values with no 0x or # prefix. Use the -t switch to enable a
temperature gradient, so that small values are "cold" with color 1
and large values are "hot" with color 2. Without the -t switch,
the colors produce a horizontal gradient spanning the width of the
graph. The scale parameter defines the maximum value of the graph.
Use the -l switch to enable a logarithmic scale, which helps to
see small values. The default size for graphs can be controlled
via the default_graph_height and default_graph_width config
settings.</para>
<para>If you need to execute a command with spaces, you have a

executable!</para>
<para>In the following example, we set up execgraph to display
seconds (0-59) on a graph that is 50px high and 200px wide, using
a temperature gradient with colors ranging from red for small
values (FF0000) to yellow for large values (FFFF00). We set the
scale to 60.</para>

<listitem>Executes a shell command and displays the output in conky.
Warning: this takes a lot more resources than other variables. I'd
recommend coding wanted behaviour in C/C++ and posting a patch. This
differs from $exec in that it parses the output of the command, so you
can insert things like ${color red}hi!${color} in your script and have
it correctly parsed by Conky. Caveats: Conky parses and evaluates the
output of $execp every time Conky loops, and then destroys all the
objects. If you try to use anything like $execi within an $execp
statement, it will functionally run at the same interval that the
$execp statement runs, as it is created and destroyed at every
interval.

<option>&lt;path to image&gt; (-p x,y) (-s WxH) (-n) (-f
interval)</option>
</term>
<listitem>Renders an image from the path specified using Imlib2. Takes
4 optional arguments: a position, a size, a no-cache switch, and a
cache flush interval. Changing the x,y position will move the position
of the image, and changing the WxH will scale the image. If you
specify the no-cache flag (-n), the image will not be cached.
Alternately, you can specify the -f int switch to specify a cache
flush interval for a particular image. Example: ${image
/home/brenden/cheeseburger.jpg -p 20,20 -s 200x200} will render
'cheeseburger.jpg' at (20,20) scaled to 200x200 pixels. Conky does not
make any attempt to adjust the position (or any other formatting) of
images, they are just rendered as per the arguments passed. The only
reason $image is part of the conky.text section, is to allow for
runtime modifications, through $execp $lua_parse, or some other
method.

'step' is optional and defaults to 1 if not set. 'direction' is
optional and defaults to left if not set. When direction is 'wait'
then text will scroll left and wait for 'interval' itertations at the
beginning and end of the text. If a var creates output on multiple
lines then the lines are placed behind each other separated with a
'|'-sign. If you change the textcolor inside $scroll it will
automatically have it's old value back at the end of $scroll. The end
and the start of text will be separated by 'length' number of spaces
unless direction is 'wait'.

<para>The connection index provides you with access to each
connection in the port monitor. The monitor will return
information for index values from 0 to n-1 connections. Values
higher than n-1 are simply ignored. For the "count" item, the
connection index must be omitted. It is required for all other
items.</para>

</simplelist>
<para>Note that port monitor variables which share the same port
range actually refer to the same monitor, so many references to a
single port range for different items and different indexes all
use the same monitor internally. In other words, the program
avoids creating redundant monitors.</para>

is possible this way.</para>

Use this if you have a slow script to keep Conky updating. You should

to execute. For example, if you have a script that take 5 seconds to
execute, you should make the interval at least 6 seconds. See also
$execi. This object will clean up the thread when it is destroyed, so
it can safely be used in a nested fashion, though it may not produce
the desired behaviour if used this way.
