643 + .PP
644 + WGMDfunc is a more programmable version of trans2,
645 + with separate modifier paths and variables to control each component.
646 + (WGMD stands for Ward-Geisler-Moroder-Duer, which is the basis for
647 + this empirical model, similar to the previous ones beside Ashik2.)\0
648 + The specification of this material is given below.

661 + The sum of specular reflectance (
662 + .I rs
663 + ), specular transmittance (
664 + .I ts
665 + ), diffuse reflectance (
666 + .I "rfdif gfdif bfdif"
667 + for front and
668 + .I "rbdif gbdif bbdif"
669 + for back)
670 + and diffuse transmittance (
671 + .I "rtdif gtdif btdif"
672 + ) should be less than 1 for each
673 + channel.
674 + .PP
675 + Unique to this material, separate modifier channels are
676 + provided for each component.
677 + The main modifier is used on the diffuse reflectance, both
678 + front and back.
679 + The
680 + .I rs_mod
681 + modifier is used for specular reflectance.
682 + If "void" is given for
683 + .I rs_mod,
684 + then the specular reflection color will be white.
685 + The special "inherit" keyword may also be given, in which case
686 + specular reflectance will share the main modifier.
687 + This behavior is replicated for the specular transmittance modifier
688 + .I ts_mod,
689 + which has its own independent roughness expressions.
690 + Finally, the diffuse transmittance modifier is given as
691 + .I td_mod,
692 + which may also be "void" or "inherit".
693 + Note that any spectra or color for specular components must be
694 + carried by the named modifier(s).
695 + .PP
696 + The main advantage to this material over BRTDfunc and
697 + other programmable types described below is that the specular sampling is
698 + well-defined, so that all components are fully computed.

1268 < The first two real arguments indicate the limits of the covered

1270 < Subsequent real values correspond to multipliers in each wavelength band,

1214 < number of bands (i.e., the number of real arguments minus 2).
1270 > Subsequent real values correspond to multipliers at each wavelength.
1271   The nmA wavelength may be greater or less than nmB,
1272   but they may not be equal, and their ordering matches
1273   the order of the spectral values.
# Line 1251 | Line 1307 | The specfunc primitive offers dynamic control over a s

1314   Like the spectrum primitive, the wavelength range is specified

1317   This function is fed a wavelenth sample
1318   between nmA and nmB as its only argument,
1319   and it returns the corresponding spectral intensity.

1321 + .UL Specdata
1322 + .PP
1323 + Specdata is like brightdata and colordata, but with more
1324 + than 3 specular samples.

1332 + .DE
1333 + The data file must have one more dimension than the coordinate
1334 + variable count, as this final dimension corresponds to the covered
1335 + spectrum.
1336 + The starting and ending wavelengths are specified in "datafile"
1337 + as well as the number of spectral samples.
1338 + The function "func" will be called with two parameters, the
1339 + interpolated spectral value for the current coordinate and the
1340 + associated wavelength.
1341 + If the spectrum is broken into 12 components, then 12 calls
1342 + will be made to "func" for the relevant ray evaluation.
1343 + .LP
1344 + .UL Specpict
1345 + .PP
1346 + Specpict is a special case of specdata, where the pattern is
1347 + a hyperspectral image stored in the common-exponent file format.
1348 + The dimensions of the image data are determined by the picture
1349 + just as with the colorpict primitive.

1358 + The function "func" is called with the interpolated pixel value
1359 + and the wavelength sample in nanometers, the same as specdata,
1360 + with as many calls made as there are components in "specfile".
