Ladybug Web provides analemma, solar and weather data visualization and analysis on the web and in your browser

• 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

• 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

There are four different types of scripts here

The traditional figure eight ( or infinity symbol on its side) representation of Sun positions. In 3D with geolocation and maps.

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

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

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

Generally the following scripts are:

• Free and open source. See the License
• Built using entry level JavaScript with no dependencies other than the Three.js JavaScript library
• Follow the guidelines of the Ladybug Web Coding Style
• Linked together using this page. For more information on how this page obtains and displays its content see: Project Explorer Read Me
