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.
