       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.
