NAME
radiance-experttools — Specialty programs of the Radiance package, used
by experts
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the debugcal, genambpos, genrhgrid,
glaze, mgf2inv, mgfilt, nff2rad, objpict, optics2rad, pcwarp, pdelta,
pgblur, plot4, ra_hexbit, ra_pfm, rlux, vinfo and xyzimage commands.
These specialty programs of the Radiance package are commonly only used
by experts, therefore the Radiance distribution does not contain full
manpages for them.
debugcal
debugcal is a script to debug cal files for Radiance
Takes octree and rcalc options as arguments. One of the rcalc options
should be -f calfile. Note that the real arguments A1, A2, etc must
also be given. Input is a ray origin and direction, such as that
produced by ximage.
genambpos
genambpos is a script which puts coloured markers (spheres) at points
where hemispherical sampling was initiated. The locations and levels
are taken from the binary ambient file.
genrhgrid
genrhgrid is a program to generate Radiance section grid
representations
glaze
Complex glazing model (goes with glaze1.cal and glaze2.cal)
mgf2inv
mgf2inv is a translator from MGF to Inventor (or VRML) format
mgfilt
mgfilt is a filter for MGF
nff2rad
nff2rad converts Neutral File Format input to Radiance scene
descriptions.
objpict
objpict makes a nice multi-view picture of an object. Command line
arguments contain materials and object files.
optics2rad
optics2rad converts Optics 5 output to correct Radiance input.
pbilat
Bilateral Filter.
pcwarp
Intended as more general substitute for macbetcal, but never quite
worked.
pdelta
pdelta computes 1976 CIE Lab deltaE* between two Radiance pictures.
pgblur
pgblur applies Gaussian blur without resizing the image. More efficient
than straight pfilt for large blurs.
plot4
plot4 is a program to put four metafile pages onto one.
ra_hexbit
ra_hexbit is a program to generate bitmap files for use with
hexbit4x1.fnt.
ra_pfm
ra_pfm is a program to convert to/from Poskanzer Float Map image format
using pvalue.
rlux
rlux computes illuminance from ray origin and direction.
vinfo
vinfo is a wrapper around vim to edit information header in Radiance
files.
xyzimage
xyzimage is a program to display one or more CIE XYZE pictures using
ximage.
