165   The actual bin number is computed at run time based on ray direction
166   and surface intersection, as described below.
167   The number of bins must be specified in advance with the
# Line 172 | Line 177 | option.
177   Since bin numbers start from zero, the bin count is always equal to
178   the last bin plus one.

210 + Additional parameter values that apply only to this modifier may be specified

213 + option, which contains a list of variable names and assigned values, separated
214 + by commas, colons, or semicolons.
215   The computed bin value will be

286 + supports light source contributions from photon maps generated by

288 + with its
289 + .I -apC

291 + .I rtrace
292 + man page along with its relevant settings. In photon mapping mode,
293 + .I rcontrib
294 + only supports contributions from light sources, not arbitrary modifiers.
295 + 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.
