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 Hod-
       gin. 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.
