1575 +        The data file must have one more dimension than the coordinate
1576 +        variable count, as this final dimension corresponds to the covered
1577 +        spectrum.
1578 +        The starting and ending wavelengths are specified in "datafile"
1579 +        as well as the number of spectral samples.
1580 +        The function "func" will be called with two parameters, the
1581 +        interpolated spectral value for the current coordinate and the
1582 +        associated wavelength.
1583 +        If the spectrum is broken into 12 components, then 12 calls
1584 +        will be made to "func" for the relevant ray evaluation.

1592 +        Specpict is a special case of specdata, where the pattern is
1593 +        a hyperspectral image stored in the common-exponent file format.
1594 +        The dimensions of the image data are determined by the picture
1595 +        just as with the colorpict primitive.

1606 + <p>
1607 +        The function "func" is called with the interpolated pixel value
1608 +        and the wavelength sample in nanometers, the same as specdata,
1609 +        with as many calls made as there are components in "specfile".
