.SH DESCRIPTION
|
| 17 |
.I Glare
|
| 18 |
is an interactive script for executing programs used to locate
|
| 19 |
glare sources and compute glare indices and visual comfort probability.
|
| 20 |
If no
|
| 21 |
.I glarefile
|
| 22 |
is given, the program prompts the user for a one.
|
| 23 |
If the file does not exist,
|
| 24 |
.I glare
|
| 25 |
asks the user some questions about the scene in question then runs
|
| 26 |
.I findglare(1)
|
| 27 |
to compute values to store in the file.
|
| 28 |
.I Glare
|
| 29 |
then presents the user a menu of available glare index calculations.
|
| 30 |
After choosing a calculation,
|
| 31 |
.I glare
|
| 32 |
offers to store the result (usually not useful) or plot the information
|
| 33 |
(but only for multiple glare angles).

If you are creating a new
|
| 36 |
.I glarefile,
|
| 37 |
it usually works best to start with a displayed image for reference
|
| 38 |
during the interrogation.
