The number of bins must be specified in advance with the |

man page along with its relevant settings. In photon mapping mode, |

only supports contributions from light sources, not arbitrary modifiers. |

The |

option is supported along with its associated ray variables, as |

discussed above. Ray coefficients are also supported via the |

.I \-V- |
| 307 |

option. Using fewer photons than there are light sources for the photon |
| 308 |

density estimates results in omitted contributions, thus the bandwidth |
| 309 |

is clamped accordingly and a warning is issued. |
