### C.12 Other Display Options

‘`--parent-id id`’

  Open Emacs as a client X window via the XEmbed protocol, with id as the parent X window id. Currently, this option is mainly useful for developers.

‘`-vb`’
‘`--vertical-scroll-bars`’

  Enable vertical scroll bars.

‘`-lsp pixels`’
‘`--line-spacing=pixels`’

  Specify pixels as additional space to put between lines, in pixels.

‘`-nbc`’
‘`--no-blinking-cursor`’

  Disable the blinking cursor on graphical displays.

‘`-D`’
‘`--basic-display`’

  Disable the menu-bar, the tool-bar, the scroll-bars, and tool tips, and turn off the blinking cursor. This can be useful for making a test case that simplifies debugging of display problems.

The ‘`--xrm`’ option (see Resources) specifies additional X resource values.
