.I rad |
| 35 |
> |
input file will be produced, whose name matches the root of |
| 36 |
|
the first input file but with any leading path removed (i.e., in |
| 37 |
|
the current directory). |
| 38 |
|
This RIF may be reused for subsequent viewing and rendering via |
| 75 |
|
Additionally, all the standard views that |
| 76 |
|
.I rvu |
| 77 |
|
defines will be available (e.g., "xZ", "zl", etc.). |

.PP |

Since a |
| 80 |
+ |
.I rad |
| 81 |
+ |
input file is created by the script, it may be used |
| 82 |
+ |
in subsequent runs as long as the temporary files remain. |
| 83 |
+ |
These are typically kept until the next reboot of the operating |
| 84 |
+ |
system, so re-running |
| 85 |
+ |
.I bsdfview |
| 86 |
+ |
with the same arguments will not require re-running |
| 87 |
+ |
.I bsdf2rad |
| 88 |
+ |
or |
| 89 |
+ |
.I oconv. |
| 90 |
+ |
Thus, start-up will be much quicker, unless the temporary files have |
| 91 |
+ |
been removed. |
| 92 |
+ |
In this case, the script may exit with an error indicating that the |
| 93 |
+ |
.I rad |
| 94 |
+ |
input file needs to be removed. |
| 95 |
+ |
.I Rad |
| 96 |
+ |
may also be run using the input file directly from the command line |
| 97 |
+ |
or via |
| 98 |
+ |
.I trad(1). |
| 99 |
+ |
This may be useful for generating RADIANCE pictures corresponding |
| 100 |
+ |
to the above standard views. |
