intermomentary(6) XScreenSaver manual intermomentary(6) NAME intermomentary - Visualize the momentary and aggregate intersections be- tween slowly moving circles. SYNOPSIS intermomentary [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number] [--foreground color] [--background color] [--num-discs disc count] [--draw-delay delayms] [--max-riders maxr] [--max-radius maxradius] [--fps] DESCRIPTION The Intersection Momentary 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. The circles begin with a radius of 1 pixel and slowly increase to some ar- bitrary size. Circles are drawn with small moving points along the perime- ter. The intersections are rendered as glowing orbs. Glowing orbs are ren- dered only when a perimeter point moves past the intersection point. OPTIONS Intermomentary accepts the following options: --num-discs disc count (Default: 85) Number of slowly moving and growing discs to use. The more discs, the more CPU power. --draw-delay delayms (Default: 30000) Delay in ms between drawing cycles. More delay, slower (but smoother and less CPU intensive.) art. --max-riders maxrider (Default: 40) Maximum number of 'riders', single dots moving around the edge of the discs. --max-radius maxradius (Default: 100) Maximum possible radius of a disc. --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. BUGS Setting the background to anything besides black confuses the intensity al- gorithm and will look terrible. 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.
