interaggregate

NAME

interaggregate - Visualize the momentary and aggregate intersections between slowly moving circles.

SYNOPSIS

interaggregate [−display host:display.screen] [−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.
