# Line 15 | Line 15 | ies2rad - convert IES luminaire data to RADIANCE descr
15   converts one or more IES luminaire data files to the equivalent RADIANCE
16   scene description.
17   The light source geometry will always be centered at the origin aimed
18 < in the negative z direction, with the 0 degree plane along the x axis.
18 > in the negative Z direction, with the 0 degree plane along the X axis.
19 > (Note, this means that the IES "width" is actually along the Y axis,
20 > while "length" corresponds to the X axis.)\0
21   Usually, two output files will be created for every input file, one
22   scene file (with a ".rad" suffix) and one data file (with a ".dat"
23   suffix).
# Line 146 | Line 148 | Normally,
148   looks at the header lines of the IES file to try and determine
149   what lamp is being used in the fixture.
150   If any of the lines is matched by a pattern in the lamp lookup
151 < table (see the -f option above), that color and depreciation factor will
152 < be used instead of the default (see the -c and -u options).
151 > table (see the \-f option above), that color and depreciation factor will
152 > be used instead of the default (see the \-c and \-u options).
153   The
154   .I lamp
155   specification is also looked up in the lamp table unless it is
156   set to "default", in which case the default color is used instead.
157   .TP
158 < .BI -c " red grn blu"
158 > .BI \-c " red grn blu"
159   Use the given color if the type of the lamp is unknown or
160 < the -t option is set to "default".
160 > the \-t option is set to "default".
161   If unspecified, the default color will be white.
162   .TP
163 < .BI -u \ lamp
163 > .BI \-u \ lamp
164   Set the default lamp color according to the entry for
165   .I lamp
166 < in the lookup table (see the -f option).
166 > in the lookup table (see the \-f option).
167   This is the color that will be used if the input specification
168   does not match any lamp type patterns.
169 < This option is used instead of the -c option.
169 > This option is used instead of the \-c option.

171 < .BI -m \ factor

172   Multiply all output quantities by
173   .I factor.
174   This is the best way to scale fixture brightness for different lamps, but care

200   The first match found in the file is always the one used.
201   This method of assigning colors to fixtures is less than perfect,
202   and the IES would do well to include explicit spectral information
203   somehow in their specification.
