.TH interaggregate 6x "6.08 (10-Oct-2023)" "X Version 11" "XScreenSaver manual" .SH NAME interaggregate \- Visualize the momentary and aggregate intersections between slowly moving circles. .SH SYNOPSIS .B interaggregate [\-\-display \fIhost:display.screen\fP] [\-\-visual \fIvisual\fP] [\-\-window] [\-\-root] [\-\-window\-id \fInumber\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. .SH OPTIONS .I interaggregate accepts the following options: .TP 8 .B \-\-num\-circles \fIdisc count\fP (Default: \fI100\fP) Number of slowly moving and growing discs to use. 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. .TP 8 .B \-\-visual \fIvisual\fP 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. .TP 8 .B \-\-window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default. .TP 8 .B \-\-root Draw on the root window. .TP 8 .B \-\-window\-id \fInumber\fP Draw on the specified window. .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 .B XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW The window ID to use with \fI\-\-root\fP. .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.
