Dear group,

I recall seeing a 'pcomb' routine listed here for calculating the  
global illuminance of a HDR scene calculated with  an angular fish-eye  
view (-vta) but now can't seem to find it.  Does anyone have this that  
they would be willing to share?

As always, thanks and best regards.

Chris
