DESCRIPTION

17       The Intersection Aggregate is a fun visualization  defining  the  rela‐
18       tionships  between  objects  with  Casey Reas, William Ngan, and Robert
19       Hodgin. Commissioned for display at the Whitney Museum of American Art.
20
21       A surface filled with 100 medium to small sized  circles.  Each  circle
22       has  a  different  size and direction, but moves at the same slow rate.
23       Display:
24
25           A. The instantaneous intersections of the circles.
26           B. The aggregate intersections of the circles.

OPTIONS

29       interaggregate accepts the following options:
30
31       --num-circles disc count (Default: 100)
32               Number of slowly moving and growing discs  to  use.   The  more
33               discs, the more CPU power.
34
35       --growth-delay delayms (Default: 18000)
36               Delay  in  ms  between drawing cycles.  More delay, slower (but
37               smoother and less CPU intensive.)  art.
38
39       --fps   Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
40
41       --visual visual
42               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
43               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
44               visual.
45
46       --window
47               Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
48
49       --root  Draw on the root window.
50
51       --window-id number
52               Draw on the specified window.
53

ENVIRONMENT

55       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
56
57       XENVIRONMENT
58               to get the name of a resource file that  overrides  the  global
59               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
60
61       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
62               The window ID to use with --root.
63

BUGS

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