Sun/shade heatmaps visualize the distribution of sunlight and shadows across your garden layout throughout a specific day. By calculating solar positions and angles for any date and location, the heatmap identifies exactly where structures will cast shadows.

Yes, you need both PyQt6 and open_garden_planner libraries installed to run 3D garden visualizations. These dependencies provide the necessary framework interface and garden planning data structures required to accurately render 3D layouts and calculate solar positions.

Yes, you can analyze shadow casting for garden structures like a greenhouse. The tool calculates solar angles and projects shadows from objects within your garden layout, allowing you to determine optimal placement and evaluate the shading impact on surrounding plants.

Accurate solar position calculation requires precise geolocation data including latitude and longitude, an accurate garden layout defining object dimensions, and a specific date and time. Without these exact inputs, the shadow casting and sun/shade heatmaps will not reflect real conditions.

Yes, this tool works with 3D visualization for garden design by offering realistic 3D views of your garden layout. It integrates solar position calculations to dynamically render shadow casting, enabling more accurate and visually detailed garden planning.
