13 |
.I ltpict |
14 |
is a script that renders a four\-view HDR image of a Radiance luminaire |
15 |
or IES photometric file. The |
16 |
.I \-i |
17 |
option tells it that the file name given is |
18 |
an IES photometry file rather then a Radiance description of a |
19 |
luminiare. In this case, Radiance's |
20 |
.I ies2rad(1) |
21 |
is called with its default settings to convert the IES file to a |
22 |
Radiance object. |

The four projections presented are the lower hemisphere |
25 |
(displayed in the upper left quadrant), the upper hemisphere |
26 |
(upper right), the C0\-C180 plane (lower left) and the |
27 |
C90\-C270 plane (lower right). |

.PP |

Only one Radiance luminaire description or IES photometry file |
30 |
may be given. No input is accepted on STDIN. |
31 |
.PP |
32 |
The output image in HDR format is produced on STDOUT with |
33 |
the default dimensions of 1024 by 1024 pixels. The dimensions |
34 |
may be overwritten with the |
35 |
.I "\-d dimensions |
36 |
option which takes an integer that is divisible by two. |
