If your paint program has a gamma correction feature to lighten and
darken RGB components, that might help.  Many Unix installations have
this as `pnmgamma'.  Or maybe put a multiplier in your program so
that the shades of red are more dramatic?

  abstract = {Swarm is a multi-agent software platform for the
simulation of complex adaptive systems. In the Swarm system the basic
unit of simulation is the swarm, a collection of agents executing a
schedule of actions. Swarm supports hierarchical modeling approaches
whereby agents can be composed of swarms of other agents in nested
structures. Swarm provides object oriented libraries of reusable
components for building models and analyzing, displaying, and
controlling experiments on those models. Swarm is currently available
as a beta version in full, free source code form. It requires the GNU
C Compiler, Unix, and X Windows. More information about Swarm can be
obtained from our web pages
