Output flushing at fixed intervals may be enabled with the |
| 125 |
+ |
.I \-x |
| 126 |

option, which specifies the number of records |
| 127 |

(-c accumulations) before each flush. |

If the |

.I \-y |

option is also set, then periodic flushing is disabled and the |
| 131 |

output size for an RGB image is the taken from the x and y dimensions. |
| 132 |

In lieu of periodic flushing, a flush may be forced as mentioned above |
| 133 |

by sending a sample with a zero direction vector, although you |
| 134 |

must still send a full record of rays before output occurs. |

standard error. |

This requires that the number of input samples is known, meaning a |

has many potential uses. |

|
The actual bin number is computed at run time based on ray direction |
| 188 |
|
and surface intersection, as described below. |
| 189 |
|
The number of bins must be specified in advance with the |
| 233 |

| 234 |
|
.I \-p |

option, which contains a list of variable names and assigned values, separated |

.I Rcontrib |
| 308 |

supports light source contributions from photon maps generated by |
| 309 |
+ |
.I mkpmap(1) |
| 310 |
+ |
with its |
| 311 |
+ |
.I -apC |
| 312 |
+ |
option. Enabling photon mapping is described in the |
| 313 |
+ |
.I rtrace |
| 314 |
+ |
man page along with its relevant settings. In photon mapping mode, |
| 315 |
+ |
.I rcontrib |
| 316 |
+ |
only supports contributions from light sources, not arbitrary modifiers. |
| 317 |
+ |
The |
| 318 |
+ |
.I -b |
| 319 |
+ |
option is supported along with its associated ray variables, as |
| 320 |
+ |
discussed above. Ray coefficients are also supported via the |
| 321 |
+ |
.I \-V- |
| 322 |
+ |
option. Using fewer photons than there are light sources for the photon |
| 323 |
+ |
density estimates results in omitted contributions, thus the bandwidth |
| 324 |
+ |
is clamped accordingly and a warning is issued. |
