2017-05-31: Try new user interface: Ladybug Web a work-in-progress
Concept
Ladybug Web provides analemma, solar and weather data visualization and analysis on the web and in your browser
Mission
Write cookbook scripts that are ready to use, cut and paste
Build engineering tools built to solve specific problems
Develop skills you can use everywhere
Vision
If the mundane engineering tasks become easy, inexpensive and swift to carry out,
then possibilities arise for the more complex, sophisticated and even extravagant ideas to turn into realities
RIP Zaha Hadid. Let us continue to design with your disruptive yet aways elegant spirit
Content
There are four different types of scripts here
Analemmas
The traditional figure eight ( or infinity symbol on its side) representation of Sun positions. In 3D with geolocation and maps.
Shadows
View the shadows on a 3D model of your choice - given latitude, longitude, data and time. Displays OBJ and MTL files using drag and drop.
Also displays analemmas and is adjustable using a variety of parameters.
Three types of file
Core - the basic 'engine' you can share and and embed
Opener - the 'editor' that helps adjust the parameters used by core
Gallery - display your projects in a variety of way
Shadow Range
View the shadows cast by your 3D model at hourly intervals - up to 15 - for any month, day latitude and longitude.
Types of files are the same as the Shadow range
Solar Calculator
The process of calculating the position of the sun is moderately complex. We have four:
Ladybug Web
NOAA
Bostock
Agafonkin
There is also a script that compares the output for all four scripts
