interaggregate(6)	       XScreenSaver manual	       interaggregate(6)

NAME
     interaggregate  -	Visualize  the momentary and aggregate intersections be-
     tween slowly moving circles.

SYNOPSIS
     interaggregate [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window]
     [--root] [--window-id number]  [--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 relation-
     ships 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  re-
	     sources 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.
