+The syntax is:
+@example
+-show_region 1
+@end example
+
+If @var{show_region} AVOption is specified with @var{1}, then the grabbing
+region will be indicated on screen. With this option, it's easy to know what is
+being grabbed if only a portion of the screen is grabbed.

+For example:
+@example
+ffmpeg -f x11grab -show_region 1 -r 25 -s cif -i :0.0+10,20 out.mpg

+# With follow_mouse
+ffmpeg -f x11grab -follow_mouse centered -show_region 1 -r 25 -s cif -i :0.0 out.mpg
