NAME

       interaggregate - Visualize the momentary and aggregate intersections between slowly moving circles.

SYNOPSIS

       interaggregate [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number]
       [--foreground   color]   [--background   color]   [--num-circles  disc  count]  [--growth-delay  delayms]
       [--max-cycles   maxr]   [--percent-orbits    percent]    [--base-orbits    percent]    [--base-on-center]
       [--draw-centers] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION

       The  Intersection  Aggregate is a fun visualization defining the relationships between objects with Casey
       Reas, William Ngan, and Robert Hodgin. Commissioned for display at the Whitney Museum of American Art.

       A surface filled with 100 medium to small sized circles. Each circle has a different size and  direction,
       but moves at the same slow rate. Display:

           A. The instantaneous intersections of the circles.
           B. The aggregate intersections of the circles.

OPTIONS

       interaggregate accepts the following options:

       --num-circles disc count (Default: 100)
               Number of slowly moving and growing discs to use.  The more discs, the more CPU power.

       --growth-delay delayms (Default: 18000)
               Delay  in  ms  between drawing cycles.  More delay, slower (but smoother and less CPU intensive.)
               art.

       --fps   Display the current frame rate and CPU load.

       --visual visual
               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the name of a  visual  class,  or  the  id  number
               (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.

       --window
               Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.

       --root  Draw on the root window.

       --window-id number
               Draw on the specified window.

ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.

       XENVIRONMENT
               to  get  the  name  of  a  resource  file  that  overrides  the  global  resources  stored in the
               RESOURCE_MANAGER property.

       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
               The window ID to use with --root.

BUGS

       Setting the background to anything besides black confuses the intensity
               algorithm and will look terrible.
