NAME¶
glare - perform glare and visual comfort calculations
SYNOPSIS¶
glare [
glarefile [
picture [
octree ] ] ]
DESCRIPTION¶
Glare is an interactive script for executing programs used to locate
glare sources and compute glare indices and visual comfort probability. If no
glarefile is given, the program prompts the user for a one. If the file
does not exist,
glare asks the user some questions about the scene in
question then runs
findglare(1) to compute values to store in the file.
Glare then presents the user a menu of available glare index
calculations. After choosing a calculation,
glare offers to store the
result (usually not useful) or plot the information (but only for multiple
glare angles).
If you are creating a new
glarefile, it usually works best to start with
a displayed image for reference during the interrogation.
