[Radiance-general] new evalglare version available

[Jan Wienold]

Hi All,

I want to announce a new evalglare version ready for download. (version 
1.0).

Following main changes are included (see also the short documentation 
which is included in the package) :

-all current view types will be supported (except parallel view) - that 
means also -vth !
-valid view is checked (many problems occurred, because often users 
treat the image with programs like pcompos before putting into 
evalglare. But then, the view got lost and a wrong view leads to totally 
wrong results! Now this will be handled by the new evalglare )
-view options can be provided also per command line option
-disability glare is also calculated
-cut-out the "Guth" visual field
-extension of the DGP equation for low-brightness scenes (Ev<380lux) , 
based on new user assessments

The main routines for glare source detection and calculation of the 
glare values are not changed.

Anyhow I strongly recommend to use from now on only the new version, 
because the issue with non valid views can cause many troubles and wrong 
values.
(and I guess many people use it and run into that problem and got wrong 
values without knowing it!!).

You can download the new version here:

good luck and an always glare free environment... ,
