[docs] class DirectSunStudy(object): """Visualize the direct sun hours falling onto a study_mesh. Such direct sun calculations can be used for shadow studies of outdoor environments or can be used to estimate glare potential from direct sun on the indoors. Args: vectors: Sun vectors, which will be used to determine the number of hours of direct sun received by the test study_mesh. These vectors can be computed using the ladybug.sunpath module. study_mesh: A ladybug geometry Mesh3D, which represents the geometry on which the direct sun is being studied. context_geometry: A list of ladybug geometry Face3D and/or Mesh3D that can block the sun. timestep: A positive integer for the number of timesteps per hour at which the sun vectors were generated. This is used to correctly interpret the time duration represented by each of the input sun vectors. (Default: 1 for 1 vector per hour). offset_distance: An optional number to offset the sensor points before the vectors are cast through the context_geometry. (Default: 0). by_vertex: A boolean to indicate whether the study should be run for each vertex of the study_mesh (True) or each face of the study mesh (False). (Default: False). sim_folder: An optional path to a folder where the simulation files will be written. If None, a temporary directory will be used. (Default: None). use_radiance_mesh: A boolean to note whether input Mesh3D should be translated to Radiance Meshes for simulation or whether they should simply have their faces translated to Radiance polygons. For complex context geometry, Radiance meshes will use less memory but they take a longer time to prepare compared to polygons. (Default: False).
