18 The Intersection Aggregate is a fun visualization defining the relationships
19 between objects with Casey Reas, William Ngan, and Robert Hodgin. Commissioned
20 for display at the Whitney Museum of American Art.
22 A surface filled with 100 medium to small sized circles. Each circle has a
23 different size and direction, but moves at the same slow rate. Display:
25 A. The instantaneous intersections of the circles.
26 B. The aggregate intersections of the circles.

32 accepts the following options:
34 .B \-num\-circles \fIdisc count\fP (Default: \fI100\fP)
35 Number of slowly moving and growing discs to use. The more discs,
38 .B \-growth\-delay \fIdelayms\fP (Default: \fI18000\fP)
39 Delay in ms between drawing cycles. More delay, slower (but smoother
40 and less CPU intensive.)
46 to get the default host and display number.
49 to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global
50 resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
55 Setting the background to anything besides black confuses the intensity
56 algorithm and will look terrible.
