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.
