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.
