The central program is <i>rpict</i>, which produces a picture from a scene |
| 85 |
|
description. |
| 86 |
< |
<i>Rview</i> is a variation of rpict that computes and displays images |
| 86 |
> |
<i>Rvu</i> is a variation of rpict that computes and displays images |
| 87 |
|
interactively, and rtrace computes single ray values. |
| 88 |
|
Other programs (not shown) connect many of these elements together, |
| 89 |
|
such as the executive programs |
| 822 |
|
Also, rather than roughness, specular power is used, which has no |
| 823 |
|
physical meaning other than larger numbers are equivalent to a smoother |
| 824 |
|
surface. |
| 825 |
+ |
Unlike other material types, total reflectance is the sum of |
| 826 |
+ |
diffuse and specular colors, and should be adjusted accordingly. |

A section of text meant to depict a picture, perhaps using a special purpose font such as hexbit4x1.fnt, calls for uniform spacing. |
| 1462 |
|
Reasonable magnitudes for proportional spacing are between 0.1 (for tightly spaced characters) and 0.3 (for wide spacing). |

The spectrum primitive is the most basic type for introducing spectral |
| 1473 |
+ |
color to a material. |
| 1474 |
+ |
Since materials only provide RGB parameters, spectral patterns |
| 1475 |
+ |
are the only way to superimpose wavelength-dependent behavior. |

The first two real arguments indicate the limits of the covered |
| 1486 |
+ |
spectral range in nanometers. |
| 1487 |
+ |
Subsequent real values correspond to multipliers in each wavelength band, |
| 1488 |
+ |
where the first band goes from nmA to nmA+(nmB-nmA)/N, and N is the |
| 1489 |
+ |
number of bands (i.e., the number of real arguments minus 2). |
| 1490 |
+ |
The nmA wavelength may be greater or less than nmB, |
| 1491 |
+ |
but they may not be equal, and their ordering matches |
| 1492 |
+ |
the order of the spectral values. |
| 1493 |
+ |
A minimum of 3 values must be given, which would act |
| 1494 |
+ |
more or less the same as a constant RGB multiplier. |
| 1495 |
+ |
As with RGB values, spectral quantities normally range between 0 |
| 1496 |
+ |
and 1 at each wavelength, or average to 1.0 against a standard |
| 1497 |
+ |
sensitivity functions such as V(lambda). |
| 1498 |
+ |
The best results obtain when the spectral range and number |
| 1499 |
+ |
of samples match rendering options, though resampling will handle |
| 1500 |
+ |
any differences, zero-filling wavelenths outside the nmA to nmB |
| 1501 |
+ |
range. |
| 1502 |
+ |
A warning will be issued if the given wavelength range does not |
| 1503 |
+ |
adequately cover the visible spectrum. |

The specfile primitive is equivalent to the spectrum type, but |
| 1514 |
+ |
the wavelength range and values are contained in a 1-dimensional |
| 1515 |
+ |
data file. |
| 1516 |
+ |
This may be a more convenient way to specify a spectral color, |
| 1517 |
+ |
especially one corresponding to a standard illuminant such as D65 |
| 1518 |
+ |
or a library of measured spectra. |

As with the spectrum type, rendering wavelengths outside the defined |

Like the spectrum primitive, the wavelength range is specified |

in the first two real arguments, and additional real values are |
| 1553 |

accessible to the sval function. |
| 1554 |

This function is fed a wavelenth sample |
| 1555 |

between nmA and nmB as its only argument, |
| 1556 |

and it returns the corresponding spectral intensity. |
