[Radiance-general] calculating percentages of a given value in a .dat / .ok file

Andy,

This should work great. Thanks for the quick reply!

Hi Nick,

 

you can use rtrace's -f option to change the output format from floating
point to ascii.  (-faa)

 

The conversion from RGB irradiance to illuminance is:

179 * ( 0.265*R + 0.670*G + 0.065*B ) 

 

so you can use rcalc to calculate the percentage you desire like so:

rtrace ...  |  rcalc -e 'ill=($1*0.265+$2*0.670+$3*0.065)*179' -e
'$1=ill/300'

 

Best,

Andy

Hi,
I am trying to do a similar process as below email, but with an illuminance
plot. 
I would like to know the % above a lighting threshold of 300lux in an
illumination grid output from radiance.
 
My office uses Ecotect to build daylight models with 2d analysis grids
(.pts). After running radiance the analysis grid is populated into a .dat
file that is renamed in the Ecotect Batch to a .ok file.
The .ok file consists of illumination data by point.
So when I open the .ok file in a text editor the values are in exponential
form, ie.. (1.501146e+000   1.570207e+000   9.277438e-001). 
When viewed in the Ecotect grid this value is 270.316 lux. 
 
Is there a way to have rtrace give me that percentage while the batch is
running or at least convert the data from exponential form to 'real' values?
 
Please let me know what to add to the batch, I assume it will be at the
rtrace section or after in the batch:
rtrace .rendering settings. gridtest.oct < gridtest.pts > gridtest.dat 
@RENAME gridtest3.dat gridtest3.ok 
 
Thanks,
Nick

And here is one of the many possible standard Radiance tools ways:
 
pvalue -h -H -o -b -df input.pic | rcalc -if -of -e '$1=1;$2=if(179* 
$1-THRESHOLD,1,0)' | total -if2
 
You need to set THRESHOLD to the desired luminance value (in cd/ 
m^2).  This will give you two numbers, the ratio of which is the  
percentage you seek.  If you want to do it all on the command line,  
you can add:
 
        | rcalc -e '$1=100*$2/$1'
 
to the end of the pipe.
 
Best,
-Greg
