[Radiance-general] Re: glare factors

[Greg Ward]

Hi Pilo,

In response to your third question, findglare (and the glare script) do 
look at IES light sources, the same as other sources in your scene.  
They will not identify illum sources, but rather will look at whatever 
is behind them in their calculation.

Sometimes, findglare will absorb or coalesce sources if they are very 
small, and this behavior may be controlled by the -r and -c options to 
findglare.   Consult the findglare man page for details.
