computeColor()

virtual void Atmosphere::computeColor ( StelCore *  core, double  JD, const Planet &  currentPlanet, const Planet &  sun, const Planet *  moon, const StelLocation &  location, float  temperature, float  relativeHumidity, float  extinctionCoefficient, bool  noScatter  )

pure virtual

Parameters

noScatter

true to suppress the actual sky brightness modelling. This will keep refraction/extinction working for didactic reasons.

Implemented in AtmosphereShowMySky, and AtmospherePreetham.

getAverageLuminance()

float Atmosphere::getAverageLuminance ( ) const

inline

Otherwise it includes the (atmosphere + background starlight (0.0001cd/m2) * eclipse factor + light pollution.

Returns

the last computed average luminance of the atmosphere in cd/m2.

getRealDisplayIntensityFactor()

float Atmosphere::getRealDisplayIntensityFactor ( ) const

inline

Returns

the display intensity ranging from 0 to 1

setAverageLuminance()

void Atmosphere::setAverageLuminance ( float  overrideLum )

inline

This is for special operations only, e.g. for scripting of brightness-balanced image export. To return to auto-computed values, set any negative value at the end of the script.
