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.
