Hi Raphael,

Thanks so much for your feedback, that gives me a lot of insight!

I tried to run 
[.]rcalc -e "abs(x)=if(x,x,-x);cond=abs($7)+abs($8)+abs($9)" >
raytrace_sample.dmp

But rtrace & rcalc run into a standstill, and output is not being created.
Could this be due the fact I'm a poor bugger on cygwin?

I tried to run:

$ rcalc -e 'abs(x)=if(x,x,-x);cond=abs($7)+abs($8)+abs($9)' pointdump.tmp >
test.dmp

Where rtrace output being located in pointdump.tmp, which runs without
errors, but the file created is empty... -a 7th/8th/9th variable being
present in the file-

However, so far my script is just using $1 $2 $3 so also these lines haven't
been showing up so far.

The suggested idea for counting bounces is brilliant, wouldn't have come up
with that! Thanks so much. I think I'll color rays in the graph according to
how often they bounce; the more often, the lighter they get since the light
will be more diffused accordingly. 

//One of these days I'll do myself a favor and get a linux box I promise ;)

Thanks again for your feedback!

Jelle.
