This help file is associated with the trad interface to the Radiance | 
| 4 | 
  | 
rad(1) program.  Trad consists of trad.wsh and one do_*.tcl file for | 
| 398 | 
  | 
size of the space. | 
| 399 | 
  | 
 | 
| 400 | 
  | 
The Zone entry windows may be manipulated in the following ways. | 
| 401 | 
– | 
Control-U clears the current window. | 
| 401 | 
  | 
Control-V pastes the contents of the current selection at the | 
| 402 | 
  | 
insertion point. | 
| 403 | 
  | 
Return moves the focus to the next window in the chain. | 
| 404 | 
  | 
 | 
| 405 | 
+ | 
The "Auto" button may be used to set these values based on the bounding | 
| 406 | 
+ | 
box of one or more Radiance scene files. | 
| 407 | 
+ | 
 | 
| 408 | 
+ | 
.Zone.Auto | 
| 409 | 
+ | 
 | 
| 410 | 
+ | 
Use this button to automatically determine the bounding box for this | 
| 411 | 
+ | 
zone, based on the output of the "getbbox" command run on one or | 
| 412 | 
+ | 
more Radiance scene files. | 
| 413 | 
+ | 
The appropriate scene files are entered via a file | 
| 414 | 
+ | 
selection dialogue box, which comes up after the button is pressed. | 
| 415 | 
+ | 
 | 
| 416 | 
+ | 
The reason for selecting specific files rather than running getbbox | 
| 417 | 
+ | 
on the entire scene is that a zone usually does not include large | 
| 418 | 
+ | 
external objects, which may be present in the complete scene | 
| 419 | 
+ | 
description. | 
| 420 |

 | 
| 421 | 
  | 
.Zone.Detail | 
| 422 | 
  | 
 | 
| 423 | 
  | 
The "Detail" setting indicates the relative level | 
| 505 | 
  | 
(Divide total lumens by 179 lumens/watt to get watts.) | 
| 506 | 
  | 
 | 
| 507 | 
  | 
The exposure value may either be given as a positive real value, or | 
| 508 | 
< | 
as a real value preceeded by a '+' or '-' indicating a positive or | 
| 508 | 
> | 
as a real value preceded by a '+' or '-' indicating a positive or | 
| 509 | 
  | 
negative number of f-stops (powers of two) from the original value. | 
| 510 | 
  | 
 | 
| 511 | 
  | 
If no exposure is given, pfilt will automatically compute the | 
| 697 | 
  | 
for the convenience of entering a new view. | 
| 698 | 
  | 
It has no effect on the rad input variables. | 
| 699 | 
  | 
 | 
| 685 | 
– | 
Note that Control-U will always clear an entry box whose cursor is | 
| 686 | 
– | 
active. | 
| 687 |

 | 
| 700 | 
  | 
.Views.Default | 
| 701 | 
  | 
 | 
| 702 | 
  | 
The "Set Default" button may be used to make the selected view the | 
| 719 | 
  | 
the positive Y axis (+Y), the positive Z axis (+Z), the negative | 
| 720 | 
  | 
X axis (-X), the negative Y axis (-Y), or the negative Z axis (-Z). | 
| 721 | 
  | 
 | 
| 722 | 
< | 
This setting may always be overriden by the "-vu xd yd zd" option, | 
| 722 | 
> | 
This setting may always be overridden by the "-vu xd yd zd" option, | 
| 723 | 
  | 
and will be altered for a particular view if it happens to be | 
| 724 | 
  | 
parallel to the view direction. | 
| 725 | 
  | 
 | 
| 726 |

.Views.Eyesep | 
| 727 | 
+ | 
 | 
| 728 | 
+ | 
The eye separation is used for generating stereo views of | 
| 729 | 
+ | 
the scene. | 
| 730 | 
+ | 
It is the measured distance between a viewer's pupils in world | 
| 731 | 
+ | 
coordinate units. | 
| 732 | 
+ | 
It is not used directly by rad, but should be set for other programs | 
| 733 | 
+ | 
that need it, such as rholo and glrad. | 
| 734 | 
+ | 
 | 
| 735 | 
  | 
.Views.Picture | 
| 736 | 
  | 
 | 
| 737 | 
  | 
The root picture file name is given in the "Picture" entry window. | 
| 1380 | 
  | 
The print command window on the Results screen contains the system | 
| 1381 | 
  | 
command to use in printing out finished Radiance pictures. | 
| 1382 | 
  | 
The "%s" format field, which must appear somewhere in the command, | 
| 1383 | 
< | 
is replaced by the selected Radiance picture file name(s). | 
| 1383 | 
> | 
is replaced by the selected Radiance picture file name. | 
| 1384 | 
> | 
This command is executed multiple times if multiple files are | 
| 1385 | 
> | 
selected. | 
| 1386 | 
  | 
 | 
| 1387 | 
  | 
The default command is "ra_ps %s | lpr", which converts the Radiance | 
| 1388 | 
  | 
picture to a black and white PostScript file and sends it to the lpr | 
| 1389 | 
  | 
print spooler. | 
| 1390 | 
+ | 
Add a "-c" option to "ra_ps" if the printer supports color. | 
| 1391 | 
  | 
If your printer does not understand PostScript, or your system does | 
| 1392 | 
  | 
not support lpr, this command must obviously be changed. |
