-------------------
A few hints to use Debian's distribution of radiance:
* If you're interested in working with radiance, take a look at the
example chaptors of the radiance book, which are available at
http://radsite.lbl.gov/radiance/book/
Although radiance is very well documented in form of manpages,
I can really recommend this book if you plan dig deeper into the
capabilities of Radiance
* Renamed programs:
* rview -> rvu: This happened some long time ago as rview is provided
by vim.
* genbox -> genrbox: In Debian genbox existed, so it had to be renamed.
In you do not want to use the new names the radiance package provides
compatibilit links in /usr/lib/radiance. To use them, you have to add
the directory to the PATH variable in your environment, for example by
adding
PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/radiance
export PATH
to your shell's rc file, usually ~/.bashrc.
* The radiance-doc package contains some example scenes in
/usr/share/doc/radiance/examples
To view them extract one of the tar.gz files and run 'make` in the
extracted diretory. the "cabin" example also contains settings to
demonstrate the rholo tool, to give this a try run 'make nholo`
(for a night scene) or 'make sholo` (for a summer scene).
* On Debian systems, /usr/share/radiance will be used as default for
$RAYPATH to be conform with the FHS. But I guess most people will have
their own $RAYPATH anyway.
