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]
       [--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
       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.
