    16 .SH DESCRIPTION

    17 .I Glare

    18 is an interactive script for executing programs used to locate

    19 glare sources and compute glare indices and visual comfort probability.

    20 If no

    21 .I glarefile

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

    23 If the file does not exist,

    24 .I glare

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

    26 .I findglare(1)

    27 to compute values to store in the file.

    28 .I Glare

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

    30 After choosing a calculation,

    31 .I glare

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

    33 (but only for multiple glare angles).

    34 .PP

    35 If you are creating a new

    36 .I glarefile,

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

    38 during the interrogation.
