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.
