# Line 25 | Line 25 | The
25   .I \-i
26   option may be used to specify desired pixel positions on the standard
27   input rather than generating all the pixels for a given view.
28 + If the
29 + .I \-u
30 + option is also given, output will be unbuffered.

32   The
33   .I \-f
# Line 34 | Line 37 | Using raw float or double records for example can redu
37   requirements of transferring and interpreting information in
38   .I rtrace.
39   .PP
40 + The
41 + .I \-c
42 + option repeats each pixel the given number of times (default is 1).
43 + This is most useful when sending rays to
44 + .I rcontrib(1)
45 + with the same
46 + .I \-c
47 + setting, providing a much faster way to average pixels over image sets.
48 + The
49 + .I \-pj
50 + option should be used to jitter sample postions in most cases.
51 + .PP
52   View options may be any combination of standard view parameters described
53   in the
54   .I rpict(1)
# Line 90 | Line 105 | otherwise, which would produce a uniform clipping dist
105   .PP
106   If a picture is given on the command line rather than a set of view options,
107   then the view and image dimensions are taken from the picture file, and
108 < the reported ray origins and directions will exactly match the center of each
109 < pixel in the picture.
108 > the reported ray origins and directions will match the center of each
109 > pixel in the picture (plus optional jitter).

111   If a depth buffer file is given as well, then
112   .I vwrays
# Line 129 | Line 144 | can reproduce any pixel ordering (i.e., any image orie
144   a rendered picture, it will only produce standard scanline-ordered rays when
145   given a set of view parameters.
