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] [--back-
       ground  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	 rela-
       tionships  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.
