# Line 60 | Line 62 | The
62   option may be used to reduce this number to 41 patches.
63   Neither option is recommended unless the distribution is known to
64   be approximately diffuse.
65 + The
66 + .I \-l
67 + option may be used to specify the maximum number of lobes in any
68 + interpolated radial basis function.
69 + The default value is 15000, which generally keeps the interpolation tractable.
70 + Setting the value to 0 turns off this limit.

72   Normally, multiple samples are taken from random points on each input
73   and output patch to improve accuracy.
# Line 90 | Line 98 | geometric descriptions are passed unchanged.
98   In the third invocation form,
99   .I bsdf2klems
100   takes a functional specification of a BSDF.
101 < The named function must accept 6 parameters corresponding to the
101 > The named function should accept 6 parameters corresponding to the
102   normalized incident and exiting vectors, respectively.
103   By convention, these vectors point away from the surface, and a positive
104   Z-component corresponds to the front side.
105   The Y-component corresponds to the "up" orientation of the surface,
106   as specified in the eventual scene description that references the XML
107   output.
108 + If the function only takes 3 parameters, then the variables "Dx", "Dy",
109 + and "Dz" will be assigned to the reverse of the outgoing direction at
110 + each evaluation.
111 + (I.e., the vector will point into the surface and
112 + Dz will be negative on the front side.)\0
113 + This simplifies conversion of functional BSDF specifications using the
114 + legacy material primitives "plasfunc", "metfunc", and "transfunc".
