Getting Started

Pyradiance is a Python wrapper to the validated RADIANCE ray-tracing system that mimics closely the RADIANCE CLI. See Reference for a complete list of supported RADIANCE functions.

Installation

Pyradiance can be installed via pip from PyPI:

pip install pyradiance

This command will install also Radiance binaries and libraries files, setting up the PATH environment. You don't need to install Radiance separately. If you already have RADIANCE installed in your system, pyradiance won't interfere with it either.

Requirements

Python >= 3.8
