.SH DESCRIPTION |
18 |
.I Lookamb |
19 |
examines an ambient file produced by |
20 |
.I rpict(1), |
21 |
.I rtrace(1), |
22 |
or |
23 |
.I rvu(1). |
24 |
The default mode prints the position, direction, level, weight, |
25 |
radius, value, position gradient and direction gradient |
26 |
for each stored ambient value preceded by a |
27 |
label appropriate for human interpretation. |
28 |
The |
29 |
.I \-d |
30 |
option prints the same quantities in 18 columns without any expanatory |
31 |
text, and is more appropriate as input to another program. |
32 |
.PP |
33 |
The |
34 |
.I \-r |
35 |
option performs the reverse conversion, taking the output of lookamb |
36 |
and reproducing the original ambient file on the standard output. |
37 |
.PP |
38 |
The |
39 |
.I \-h |
40 |
option causes lookamb not to print out the header information on the |
41 |
output, or not to expect it on the input with the |
42 |
.I \-r |
43 |
option. |
44 |
.PP |
45 |
If no file is given, |
46 |
.I lookamb |
47 |
reads from the standard input. |
48 |
.SH NOTES |
49 |
Before release 2.2 of Radiance, ambient files were in a |
50 |
machine-dependent format. |
51 |
Since that is no longer the case, ambient files can now be moved |
52 |
freely between machines without any conversions. |
53 |
Thus, the only reason to use |
54 |
.I lookamb |
55 |
now is to examine the contents of an ambient file. |
