View Factors with GUI

Calculate view factors between planar surfaces (polygons).

You are now following this Submission

This is the same function as posted before but now with a GUI.

With this program, you can calculate view factors between polygons, which can be used later in radiation problems.

I think that this is the first free program on the web that calculates view factors (I searched one in the past but never found any).

It has been developped at Laval University (Quebec, Canada).
