Both were copied verbatim from e-mail I received from Taoning Wang |
| 2577 |
|
on 8/20/2022. |

Added -features option to rpict, rtrace, and rcontrib to check |
| 2580 |
+ |
which features are present or look for specific feature support. |
| 2581 |
+ |
This addition was suggested by Peter Apian-Bennewitz as an easier |
| 2582 |
+ |
way to determine which version of Radiance is installed and what |
| 2583 |
+ |
it supports, and is timely as we begin our refactoring of the |
| 2584 |
+ |
rendering code. There are no current plans to add this to rvu. |
| 2585 |
+ |
|
| 2586 |
+ |
Added falsecolor -odim, -orct, and -c0 options to overlay grid of |
| 2587 |
+ |
values on image. This was requested by Rob Shakespeare. |
| 2588 |
+ |
|
| 2589 |
+ |
Added -i* and -o* options in rhcopy for reading rays from the |
| 2590 |
+ |
standard input and writing rays from holodeck to standard output. |
| 2591 |
+ |
This will hopefully be useful in combining rholo with rcontrib. |
| 2592 |
+ |
|
| 2593 |
+ |
Added further checking for coincident (overlapping) flat surfaces, |
| 2594 |
+ |
preferring front sides to back sides in the ray intersection |
| 2595 |
+ |
calculation. This only applies to rings and faces, as the other |
| 2596 |
+ |
surface types would have required additional calculations to |
| 2597 |
+ |
make them work. Material transparency is still the primary |
| 2598 |
+ |
consideration, now followed by ray hit side, followed by |
| 2599 |
+ |
modifier definition order in the input. |
