a grid of calculation points (coordinates and direction vector), process your
scene, sky, and grid points through rtrace, and manipulate the the data as
required. See 6.4, Case Study II in RwR dealing with daylight factor
generation. If you need images you could use pvalue to create an image from the
grid of results and process it through falsecolor to put a scale on
it.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

</DIV>In terms of post processing I would <BR>
<UL>
<LI>convert each pic to daylight factors <BR>
<LI>Query the PIC by tracing an "Area of Interest". This is used to work out
DF min, max, ave, uniformity, etc. With this I can exclude overlapping spaces
and other features such as notional corridors from the working plane calcs.
