Added i/o for spectral pictures to rmtxop, the first program that can |
| 2635 |
|
ingest them. (Only rtrace, rcontrib, and rfluxmtx can render them.) |
| 2636 |
|
New symbolic rmtxop -c options, such as RGB, XYZ, S (for scotopic) |
| 2637 |
< |
and M (for melanopic) make color conversions simpler. |
| 2638 |
< |
Also added spectral picture support to rcrop and radcompare. |

Added new utility, rcomb, which is something like a combination |

Added ability of mgf2rad to convert spectral data at least |

Minor change to rcollate to allow explicit byte records to |

Added new hemisphere type to rfluxmtx, "h=cie" for CIE sky |

scanner positions. These are 145 patches with identical |

ra_bmp, ra_ps, and ra_rgbe programs. Also updated fast tone-mapping |

Added handling of hyperspectral images to normtiff, a handy program |

Created C++ class for rcontrib and example tool rxcontrib, which |

is an optional compile in the src/rt directory. The output |

Added strnstr.c compatibility module in ray/src/common, since |

Added gensurf -i option at the request of Peter Apian-Bennewitz |

mkillum and/or mkpmap are involved in octree prep. |

Added ability of gendaymtx to read EPW as well as WEA files. |
| 2771 |

When EPW input is provided, the 3-hour average dew point is |
| 2772 |

used to compute a more accurate precipitable water content |

the EPW input, relying instead on a dew-point-to-W calculation. |

This follows the request and recommendations of David G-M. |

Removed limitation in rfluxmtx, which was disallowing distant |

Wrote new pvsum tool to handle cases dctimestep can't, like |

spectral input pictures. It also adds a -N option for multi- |

Changed default matrix representation to float rather than |

Fixed slight bias in indirect calculation caused by ambient |

Altered rvu "origin" command to take shift amounts forward, |
