[Radiance-general] Raw images from radiance package?

[Vera Liu]

Hi Greg,
Thank you so much for the prompt reply! I want to generate some simulation
images for my project, but Matlab can't read in the .oct file or .pic file
generated by oconv and rpict. So I was wondering what I should use to
output raw images with linear light coordinates and then extract the pixel
values. As you mentioned  the gile generated by using rpict should be the
raw format? Or I could use rtrace option to get the pixel values?

Best,
Vera
