Added crude ability to read and convert spectra to RGB in ximage, ra_bmp, and ra_rgbe programs. Also updated fast tone-mapping -library to handle spectral HSR inputs at the same time. +library to handle spectral HSR inputs at the same time. HSR +input handling was added in a similar fashion to pcond and pvalue. + +Wrote rxpiece tool that will render pictures using tiling and +can handle different output formats and hyperspectral pictures. +Only runs on a single machine, however -- now NFS locking on +shared volumes. Mainly a demonstration tool for RpictSimulManager +C++ class, but may have its uses. + +Fixed a bug in BSDF sampling of sources pointed out by +David Geisler-Moroder, which tended to overestimate specular +contributions for some BSDFs. + +Added handling of hyperspectral pictures to pextrem, though +results are still reported in RGB. + +Added conversion of hyperspectral pictures to ra_xyze, although +it is even slower than rcomb for this process. It is more +accurate than most of the other tools, at least.
