Constructor.

Member Function Documentation

float Skybright::getLuminance	(	float	cosDistMoon,
		float	cosDistSun,
		float	cosDistZenith
	)		const

Compute the luminance at the given position.

Parameters

cosDistMoon	cos(angular distance between moon and the position)
cosDistSun	cos(angular distance between sun and the position)
cosDistZenith	cos(angular distance between zenith and the position)

void Skybright::setDate	(	int	year,
		int	month,
		float	moonPhase
	)

Set the sky date to use for atmosphere computation.

Parameters

year	the year in YYYY format
month	the month: 1=Jan, 12=Dec
moonPhase	the moon phase in radian 0=Full Moon, PI/2=First Quadrant/Last Quadran, PI=No Moon

void Skybright::setLocation	(	float	latitude,
		float	altitude,
		float	temperature = 15.f,
		float	relativeHumidity = 40.f
	)

Set the position parameters to use for atmosphere computation.

Parameters

latitude	observer latitude in radian
altitude	observer altitude in m
temperature	temperature in deg. C
relativeHumidity	air humidity in %

void Skybright::setSunMoon	(	float	cosDistMoonZenith,
		float	cosDistSunZenith
	)

Set the moon and sun zenith angular distance (cosin given) and precompute what can be This function has to be called once before any call to getLuminance()

Parameters

cosDistMoonZenith	cos(angular distance between moon and zenith)
cosDistSunZenith	cos(angular distance between sun and zenith)
