# Line 36 | Line 38 | At most, there will be 4 such hemisphere pairs for
38   front reflection, back reflection, front transmission,
39   and back transmission.
40   Theoretically, only one transmission direction is required,

104 + to grazing than the given angle in degrees.
105 + If the word "auto" (which can be abbreviated as 'a' or 'A') is given
106 + instead of an angle, then the near-grazing angle will be determined
107 + by the lowest incident angle measurement present in the input data.
108 + This is sometimes necessary to eliminate noise and edge effects that
109 + some measurements exhibit near grazing.

# Line 252 | Line 264 | In the
264   utility, the world coordinate system follows trigonometric
265   conventions with theta=0 aligning to the Z-axis,
266   the X-axis matches (theta,phi)=(90,0), and the Y-axis
267 < is has (theta,phi)=(90,90).
267 > corresponds to (theta,phi)=(90,90).
268   The latter is thought of as the "up" direction for the sample.
269   This usually needs to be rotated into position, since most
270   RADIANCE models use the Z-axis as the world "up" direction.
