6.8. Image File (*.pic)

The final simulated picture, a binary file written in a customized format. Created by pfilt from the raw file as the final step of the batch process, which creates the finished image. Depending on the simulation parameters can be either an illuminance or luminance image.
Luminance images are used to generate glare and illuminance images are used to generate Lux values and Lux contours (and DF contours).
Images are named sequentially with the name image1.pic, image 2.pic, etc. If images are deleted then the number sequencing may be out order, it is left to the user to rename the images if required. Note that the image list in the View Images tab sequences the images in the order they were created. Contour images have the labels _LC or _DF appended to the name, or if more than one contour image is created then additional numbers will be added e.g. _LC1, etc.
