41   .I GenBSDF
42   computes a bidirectional scattering distribution function from
# Line 61 | Line 68 | option.
68   Computing both components takes about twice as long as one component, but
69   is recommended when rays will be impinging from either side.
70   .PP
71 + The
72 + .I \+C
73 + option specifies that the output XML should include color information,
74 + which is interpreted by the rendering programs.
75 + The default option
76 + .I \-C
77 + reduces all BSDF data to grayscale.

79   The geometry must fit a rectangular profile, whose width is along the X-axis,
80   height is in the Y-axis, and depth is in the Z-axis.
81   The positive Z-axis points into the room, and the input geometry should

162   Again, the parameter to this option sets the maximum resolution as
163   a power of 2 in each dimension, but in this case there is one less
164   dimension being sampled.

166 + The
167 + .I \-recover
168 + option is available for continuing calculations that were killed by
169 + the system or the user.
170 + Unfortunately, genBSDF puts its temporary files in a directory
171 + that is often cleaned up after reboot, so this may not always work.
