RADIANCE-EXPERTTOOLS(1)
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.
