Hi All
I have a question about using the existing utilities for converting a CIE
(x,y) chromaticity to RGB for use of adjusting the default sun and sky
colors. I have researched the following site to get some background about
this:

>From searching through the archive of this message board I came across a
response by Greg to a previous question that I had for adjusting the sun
color:

My question is how may I convert from a CIE(x,y) chromaticity to RGB using
on two variables as was performed for the above. The Radiance function file
xyz_rgb.cal requires three variables (x,y and the luminosity, z). The reason
why I am asking this is because I wish for the values that I'll employ to be
in the physically valid range (i.e. .265074126*r + .670114631*g +
.064811243*b = 1).
Thanks
Marcus
