66 + The
67 + .I \+C
68 + option specifies that the output XML should include color information,
69 + which is interpreted by the rendering programs.

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

104   The

111   The
112 + .I \-W
113 + option is passed to
114 + .I wrapBSDF(1)
115 + to prepare the XML file for WINDOW6.
116 + Any
117 + .I \-s
118 + parameters are passed to the
119 + .I \-f
120 + option of
121 + .I wrapBSDF,
122 + controlling XML fields such as
123 + the Manufacturer (e.g., -s m=MF) and device Name (e.g, -s n=NM).

125 + The
126   .I \-t4
127   mode computes a non-uniform BSDF represented as a rank 4 tensor tree,
128   suitable for use in the Radiance rendering tools.
