16 The Intersection Aggregate is a fun visualization defining the rela‐
17 tionships between objects with Casey Reas, William Ngan, and Robert
18 Hodgin. Commissioned for display at the Whitney Museum of American Art.
19
20 A surface filled with 100 medium to small sized circles. Each circle
21 has a different size and direction, but moves at the same slow rate.
22 Display:
23
24 A. The instantaneous intersections of the circles.
25 B. The aggregate intersections of the circles.
26
28 interaggregate accepts the following options:
29
30 -num-circles disc count (Default: 100)
31 Number of slowly moving and growing discs to use. The more
32 discs, the more CPU power.
33
34 -growth-delay delayms (Default: 18000)
35 Delay in ms between drawing cycles. More delay, slower (but
36 smoother and less CPU intensive.) art.
37
38 -fps Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
39
41 DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
42
43 XENVIRONMENT
44 to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global
45 resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.

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