[Radiance-general] rpiece question

[iebele]

Hi Jack, 

Yes, it would be helpfull to have acces to the individual pieces. 
If you want to share your hack, I would be very pleased with that.

  Hi Iebele,

  All the "pieces" get written out into the file specified by the -o option. So there are no individual image pieces if that makes sense.

  To avoid some issues relating to speed of file locking for rpiece jobs shared over multiple compute nodes (such as in a cluster with a shared nfs server), I have actually hacked rpiece so that it will in fact write out the individual pieces as image files. These can then be assembled into the final image after the fact. I am willing to make this available if there is interest.

  Regards,

  -Jack de Valpine

    A brief question in line in return...

    I underestand that the -o option sets the final image.
    But where can I find the temporary files , i.e. the "pieces" ?

         Lastly you can do a pfilt on the unfinished image and view the results to visually see things. Files will be stored as you desire, so it is up to you to organize things the way you want.
