.SH DESCRIPTION
.I WrapBSDF
takes ASCII matrix or tensor tree data given in one or more
.I "\-tf, \-tb, \-rf,"
and
.I \-rb
options and adds them to the given
.I input.xml
file or to a standard template suitable for
.I Radiance
and
.I WINDOW6.
The
.I \-W
option may be given to ensure adherence to the
.I WINDOW6
requirements, which draws from a standard template
and warns the user if the required additional fields are not
provided.
.PP
Fields may be set by one or more
.I \-f
options, which take pairs of XML tag names and values, such as
.I "\-f Manufacturer=ACME".
A number of shorthand names are provided corresponding to the
following tags (asterisk tags are required with -W):
.sp
.nf
        m       Manufacturer(*)
        n       Name(*)
        c       ThermalConductivity
        ef      EmissivityFront
        eb      EmissivityBack
        eo      EffectiveOpennessFraction
        t       Thickness(*)
        h       Height
        w       Width
.fi
.PP
If any dimensions are given, thier units will correspond to
meters by default, or the
.I \-u
option may be used to specify one of:
meter, foot, inch, centimeter, or millimeter.
Any other unit specification will result in an error, and
only one set of units may be selected.
A "Materials and Geometry Format" file may be provided with the
.I \-g
option, and will also be in the indicated units.
.PP
The spectrum corresponding to a particular set of data may be given
before the data option using a
.I \-s
specification, whose argument is either the name of a spectral
sensitivity file or one of the standard spectra:
Visible, Solar, NIR, CIE-u, CIE-v, CIE-X, or CIE-Z.
Different spectra may be given for different distribution data,
and the default spectrum is Visible (CIE-Y).
.PP
The
.I \-a
option specifies the angular sampling basis for all the data
provided, and must be set if any data is given.
Legal arguments for this option are:
.sp
.nf
        kf      Klems full sampling (145x145 matrix)
        kh      Klems half sampling (73x73 matrix)
        kq      Klems quarter sampling (41x41 matrix)
        t3      Tensor tree isotropic sampling
        t4      Tensor tree anisotropic sampling
.fi
.sp
In the case of Klems data, the
.I \-c
option may be specified to include a correction for solid
angle, which is necessary to convert flux form factors into
BSDF data.
Since flux factors rather than BSDF values are computed by
.I rfluxmtx(1)
and similar sources, this is often necessary for proper conversion.
.PP
Most options that accept file names
can take data from the standard input by using a hyphen ('-')
in place of the file, but only one option at most may read from stdin.
Data input may be read from another program by beginning the input
specification with a quoted exclamation point ('!') followed by the command.
.PP
The
.I \-C
option may be used to specify a comment to be inserted near the
head of the output.
Up to 30 comment strings may be given, and they will appear one
after the other in the prologue surrounded by the XML comment syntax.
.SH EXAMPLE
Create an WINDOW6 BSDF from computed transmission matrix:
.IP "" .2i
rfluxmtx -fa ... | wrapBSDF -W -u millimeter -f 't=5;m=3M;n=Trans30' -c -tb - > Trans30.xml
.PP
Add a name and MGF geometry to an XML file:
Add a name and MGF geometry to an XML file:
.IP "" .2i
wrapBSDF -f 'Name=My Device' -g MyDevice.mgf orig.xml > revised.xml
