RADIANCE-EXPERTTOOLS

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.
