Added automatic flushing to the output of total, except when the -r |
2455 |
|
(running subtotals) option is used. |
2456 |

|
2457 |

Improved behavior of little-used -aw option, so that it avoids sea-level |
2458 |
+ |
rise caused by adding its own estimate back into the ambient level remainder. |
2459 |
+ |
It ended up being simple enough to derate the final average by the factor |
2460 |
+ |
corresponding to average surface absorpition, thus removing the average |
2461 |
+ |
from the final bounce estimate. |

Introduced ies2rad upgrades by Randolph Fritz. Randolph says it |
2464 |
+ |
fixes the following problems: |
2465 |
+ |
|
2466 |
+ |
1. Generates correct Radiance geometry for spheres in 1995, 2002, |
2467 |
+ |
and 2019 IES files. |
2468 |
+ |
|
2469 |
+ |
2. Generates correct Radiance geometry for vertical cylinders that |
2470 |
+ |
are taller than they are wide. |
2471 |
+ |
|
2472 |
+ |
3. Ignores the file source ("File Generation Type") field in the |
2473 |
+ |
2019 version of the file, which would otherwise be incorrectly used |
2474 |
+ |
as an output multiplier. |
2475 |
+ |
|
2476 |
+ |
It also offers the following enhancements: |
2477 |
+ |
|
2478 |
+ |
1. Shape information is included in the .rad file comments. |
2479 |
+ |
|
2480 |
+ |
2. 1995, 2002, and 2019-version luminous opening geometry is |
2481 |
+ |
accounted for. |
2482 |
+ |
|
2483 |
+ |
3. The 2002 and 2019 IES file versions are recognized and |
2484 |
+ |
processed appropriately. |
2485 |
+ |
|
2486 |
+ |
4. I have made an attempt to do something intelligent with less |
2487 |
+ |
common "luminous opening" shapes in the 1995, 2002, and 2019 versions |
2488 |
+ |
of the standard, though I have not implemented any support for new |
2489 |
+ |
geometry; approximations are substituted and warning messages issued. |
2490 |
+ |
Unfortunately, this code is not tested, since I don't have any IES |
2491 |
+ |
files that use these shapes. |
