with its |
| 289 |

option. Enabling photon mapping is described in the |
| 291 |

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

.I rcontrib |

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

The |
| 296 |

.I -b |
| 297 |

option is supported along with its associated ray variables, as |
| 298 |

discussed above. Ray coefficients are also supported via the |
| 299 |
+ |
.I \-V- |
| 300 |
+ |
option. Using fewer photons than there are light sources for the photon |
| 301 |
+ |
density estimates results in omitted contributions, thus the bandwidth |
| 302 |

is clamped accordingly and a warning is issued. |
