NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       interaggregate [-display  host:display.screen]  [-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.

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.

       BUGS

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