.SH DESCRIPTION

.I Glare

is an interactive script for executing programs used to locate

glare sources and compute glare indices and visual comfort probability.

If no

.I glarefile

is given, the program prompts the user for a one.

If the file does not exist,

.I glare

asks the user some questions about the scene in question then runs

.I findglare(1)

to compute values to store in the file.

.I Glare

then presents the user a menu of available glare index calculations.

After choosing a calculation,

.I glare

offers to store the result (usually not useful) or plot the information

(but only for multiple glare angles).

.PP

If you are creating a new

.I glarefile,

it usually works best to start with a displayed image for reference

during the interrogation.
