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. |
