49   Increasing the
50   .I \-m
51 < parameter, typically by factors of two, yields a higher resolution
51 > parameter yields a higher resolution
52   sky using the Reinhart patch subdivision.
53   For example, setting
54   .I "\-m 4"
# Line 53 | Line 59 | Thus, an hourly weather tape for an entire year would
59   yield 8760x3 (26280) values per output line (row).
60   .PP
61   The
62 + .I \-A
63 + option tells
64 + .I gendaymtx
65 + to generate a single column corresponding to an average sky
66 + computed over all the input time steps, rather than one
67 + column per time step.
68 + .PP
69 + The
70   .I \-c
71   option may be used to specify a color for the sky.
72   The gray value should equal 1 for proper energy balance.
# Line 67 | Line 81 | corresponding to a 20% gray.
81   .PP
82   The
83   .I \-d
84 < option may be used to produce a sun-only matrix, with no sky contributions.
84 > option may be used to produce a sun-only matrix, with no sky contributions,
85 > and the ground patch also set to zero.
86   Alternatively, the
87   .I \-s
88 < option may be used to exclude any direct solar component from the output.
88 > option may be used to exclude any direct solar component from the output,
89 > with the rest of the sky and ground patch unaffected.
90   If there is a sun in the description,
91   .I gendaymtx
92   will include its contribution in the four nearest sky patches,
93   distributing energy according to centroid proximity.
94   .PP
95 + The
96 + .I \-u
97 + option ignores input times when the sun is below the horizon.
98 + This is a convenient way to average daylight hours only with the
99 + .I \-A
100 + option or to ensure that matrix entries correspond to solar positions
101 + produced with the
102 + .I \-D
103 + option, described below.
104 + .PP
105 + The
106 + .I \-n
107 + option may be used if no matrix output is desired at all.
108 + This may be used to merely check the input, or in combination with the
109 + .I \-D
110 + option, below.
111 + .PP
112 + The
113 + .I \-D
114 + option may be used to specify an output file to contain a list of
115 + solar positions and intensities corresponding to time steps in the
116 + weather tape where the sun has any portion above the horizion.
117 + Sun radiance values may be zero if the direct amount is zero on the input.
118 + Sun modifiers and names will be indexed by the minute, numbered from
119 + midnight, January 1st.
120 + If a hyphen ('-') is given as the argument to
121 + .I \-D,
122 + then the sun descriptions  will be directed to the standard output.
123 + This implies the
124 + .I \-n
125 + option just described.
126 + If the
127 + .I \-M
128 + option is given as well, it will be used to record the modifier
129 + names used in the
130 + .I \-D
131 + output, for convenient input to
132 + .I rcontrib(1)
133 + and
134 + .I rfluxmtx(1).
135 + .PP
136   By default,
137   .I gendaymtx
138   assumes the positive Y-axis points north such that the first sky patch
# Line 132 | Line 189 | based on Jean-Jacques Delaunay's original gendaylit(1)
