.TH Interaggregate 1 "08-Oct-04" "X Version 11" .SH NAME interaggregate - Visualize the momentary and aggregate intersections between slowly moving circles. .SH SYNOPSIS .B interaggregate [\-display \fIhost:display.screen\fP] [\-foreground \fIcolor\fP] [\-background \fIcolor\fP] [\-num\-circles \fIdisc count\fP] [\-growth\-delay \fIdelayms\fP] [\-max\-cycles \fImaxr\fP] [\-percent\-orbits \fIpercent\fP] [\-base\-orbits \fIpercent\fP] [\-base\-on\-center] [\-draw\-centers] [\-fps] .SH DESCRIPTION The Intersection Aggregate is a fun visualization defining the relationships 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 more discs, the more CPU power. .TP 8 .B \-growth\-delay \fIdelayms\fP (Default: \fI18000\fP) Delay in ms between drawing cycles. More delay, slower (but smoother and less CPU intensive.) art. .TP 8 .B \-fps Display the current frame rate and CPU load. .SH ENVIRONMENT .PP .TP 8 .B DISPLAY to get the default host and display number. .TP 8 .B XENVIRONMENT to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property. .TP 8 .SH BUGS .PP .TP 8 Setting the background to anything besides black confuses the intensity algorithm and will look terrible. .SH SEE ALSO .BR X (1), .BR xscreensaver (1) .SH COPYRIGHT Copyright \(co 2003 by J.
