55   The
56   .I \-c
57   option may be used to specify a color for the sky.

59   The default sky color is

61   Similarly, the
# Line 65 | Line 71 | option may be used to produce a sun-only matrix, with
71   Alternatively, the
72   .I \-s
73   option may be used to exclude any direct solar component from the output.
74 + If there is a sun in the description,
75 + .I gendaymtx
76 + will include its contribution in the four nearest sky patches,
77 + distributing energy according to centroid proximity.
78   .PP
79 + By default,
80 + .I gendaymtx
81 + assumes the positive Y-axis points north such that the first sky patch
82 + is in the Y-axis direction on the horizon, the second patch is just
83 + west of that, and so on spiraling around to the final patch near the zenith.
84   The
85 + .I \-r
86 + (or
87 + .I \-rz)
88 + option rotates the sky the specified number of degrees counter-clockwise
89 + about the zenith, i.e., west of north.
90 + This is in keeping with the effect of passing the output of
91 + .I gensky(1)
92 + or
93 + .I gendaylit(1)

106 + The
107 + .I \-O1
108 + option specifies that output should be total solar radiance rather
109 + than visible radiance.
110 + The
111 + .I \-h
112 + option prevents the output of the usual header information.
113   Finally, the

115   option will enable verbose reporting, which is mostly useful for
# Line 95 | Line 131 | Ian Ashdown wrote most of the code,
