# Line 569 | Line 569 | An invented name should be kept as short as possible,
569   added to the picture file name along with the standard ".pic" suffix.
570  
571   The standard views are specified by strings of the form
572 < "[Xx]?[Yy]?[Zz]?[vlah]?".
572 > "[Xx]?[Yy]?[Zz]?[vlahc]?".
573   (That is, an optional upper or lower case X followed by an optional
574   upper or lower case Y followed by an optional upper or lower case Z
575 < followed by an optional lower case V, L, A or H.)
575 > followed by an optional lower case V, L, A, H or C.)
576   The letters indicate the desired view position, where upper case "X"
577   means maximum X, lower case "y" means minimum Y and so on.
578   The final letter is the view type, where 'v' is perspective (the
579 < default), 'l' is parallel, 'a' is angular fisheye, and 'h' is
580 < hemispherical fisheye.
579 > default), 'l' is parallel, 'a' is angular fisheye, 'h' is
580 > hemispherical fisheye and 'c' is for cylindrical panorama.
581   A perspective view from maximum X, minimum Y would be "Xy" or
582   "Xyv".
583   A parallel view from maximum Z would be "Zl".
# Line 618 | Line 618 | interaction mode for trad.
618   Consult the rpict(1) manual page for a full description of the various
619   view options, all of which begin with "-v".
620   Just briefly, the "-vt?" option sets the view type, where "?" is
621 < replaced by one of the letters "v, l, a or h", corresponding to
622 < perspective, parallel, angular and hemispherical fisheye, respectively.
621 > replaced by one of the letters "v, l, a, h or c", corresponding to
622 > perspective, parallel, angular fisheye, hemispherical fisheye
623 > and cylindrical panorama, respectively.
624   The "-vp x y z" option sets the view position (eyepoint), where "x y z"
625   is replaced by the position in 3-space.
626   The "-vd xd yd zd" option sets the view direction, where "xd yd zd"

747   The default value for this variable is "512".

749 + .Views.Rawfile
750 +
751 + The "Rawfile" entry window determines if and where the raw output picture
752 + from rpict will be saved.
753 + If the entry is empty, the file will be removed after rendering and
754 + filtering.
755 + This is the normal action, since the raw file
756 + takes up disk space and is not generally useful.
757 + However, if you wish to perform some special filtering function,
758 + this file can be renamed instead of removed by giving a
759 + root file name in this entry window.
760 + The final name in this case will be the given root plus and
761 + underscore plus the view name followed by a ".pic" suffix.
762 +
763 + In the special case when the raw file name and picture file name are
764 + the same, the raw file is saved and no filtering takes place.
765 +
766 + .Views.Zfile
767 +
768 + The "Zfile" entry window gives the root name of the file in which to
769 + store the raw (binary floating point) distances to pixels in the
770 + original generated image.
771 + If this entry is empty, then no z-file will be saved.
772 +
773 + The final z-file name will be the given root plus an underscore plus
774 + the view name plus a ".zbf" suffix.
775 +
776 + To convert this image to human-readable form, the program "od" will
777 + work on some systems, or the Radiance "pvalue" program may be used
778 + to first convert it to a greyscale Radiance picture using the
779 + options "-r -h -b -df `getinfo -d < pictname`" where "pictname" is
780 + replaced by the raw picture file name.
781 + (Getinfo simply gets the original image dimensions, which are not
782 + stored in the z-file.)
783 +
784   .Views.Copy

786   The "Copy" button in the Views screen permits those variables
# Line 1057 | Line 1093 | command, and new views can be added with the "V name"
1093   command.
1094  
1095   When using the "V" command to change an existing view, do not
1096 < give it a name because the previous view will not be overridden.
1096 > give it an existing name because the previous view will not be overridden.
1097   Instead, give it a new name (or no name, which will show up as
1098   a number later), then use the Views screen to override the previous
1099   view definition with the new one.

1271   The "Delete" button on the Results screen is used to remove the
1272   selected picture files from the filesystem.
1273 + Associated raw picture and z-buffer files
1274 + will also be deleted if they exist.
1275   Verification is required before any action is taken.
