Added ability to output color image from rtrace with any of -ovrx options. | 
| 2274 | 
+ | 
Also fixed inconsistency of -oN output when ray casting versus full trace. | 
| 2275 | 
+ | 
Before, it would flip normal to front side unless ray casting.  Now, -oN | 
| 2276 | 
+ | 
always reports the unflipped normal. | 
| 2277 | 
  | 
 | 
| 2278 | 
  | 
Changed rlam behavior so -iaN reads N lines from a stream rather than N | 
| 2279 | 
  | 
characters.  This seems more useful, since -ibN is somewhat redundant with | 
| 2283 | 
  | 
rtrace output into separate files or streams. | 
| 2284 | 
  | 
 | 
| 2285 | 
  | 
Improved getinfo so that it can also hop over resolution string with -c | 
| 2286 | 
< | 
and header elide mode. | 
| 2286 | 
> | 
and header elide mode.  Use +d to include resolution string in output, | 
| 2287 | 
> | 
and -d to elide with - and -c options. | 
| 2288 | 
  |

Made pvalue -u option mean "uncompressed" with -r.  Also, allow skipping | 
| 2290 | 
  | 
bytes on standard input. | 
| 2292 | 
  | 
Created rcode_depth tool to convert to and from a 16-bit/pixel portable | 
| 2293 | 
  | 
depth image encoding that uses a mix of linear and reciprocal distance | 
| 2294 | 
  | 
with explicit representations of 0 and infinity.  Code for loading these | 
| 2295 | 
< | 
depth maps is in src/util/depthcodec.{h,c}. |

depth maps is in src/common/depthcodec.{h,c}. |

surface normal representation, matching the one in src/common/dircode.c. |

Added -o* option to rtpict to produce layered images that handle most | 
| 2305 |

output types from rtrace (colors, surface normals, distances, IDs). |

Created rcode2bmp script to create images from new rcode_* output maps. |

Improved efficiency of rmtxop in cases where matrix multiplication is | 
| 2310 |

faster evaluated right-to-left, as when the final component is a |

column vector.  Also added ability to apply trailing unary operators |

(-t, and -s or -c) to resulting matrix. |

Added BigEndian= header line for automatic byte-swapping in rmtxop |

for pvalue -r, currently. |
