Dear list,
I am having some problems in the usage of pcomb.
If I use the latest release of radiance compiled for windows
(
pcomb -v
#?RADIANCE
CAPDATE= 2010:02:09 19:36:42
)
on a command like:
pcomb -h -e 'lo=li(1)+li(2)+li(3)' -o C:\image_1.pic -o C:\image_2.pic
-o C:\image_3.pic > C:\Composite.pic
I receive the error
'lo=li(1)+li(2)+li(3)'
^ illegal variable name
If I use an older version o pcomb (-h not supported yet) it all works
fine but I seem to be limited to 30ish images maximum, otherwise an
error (too many picture files) appears.
As I am planning to use a large number of images composted together I
would like to get rid of the header information and not being limited to
the number of images I can process (or at least being able to handle
some 100 files at once...).
Thank you in advance for your time and help!
As usual it is very much appreciated!!
Best,
Giovanni

Have you tried to use double quotes instead of single quotes?
I noticed that there is a difference between command prompt
in Windows and shell prompt in Unix. Can't remember which
one had to use on Windows, though.

With this weekend's HEAD I noticed that the -h command does
strip the headers from the input images, but the command used
to create the output is still there in full length. I can understand
that this is the desired behaviour. If you plan to combine a large
number of pictures I would recommend another pcomb command
with a single input file just to strip this header as well.

Thomas

Thank you so much Thomas, your tip fixed the problem in one second!
Would be useful to have the right syntax on the manual page as well though...
Thanks again,

Thank you so much Thomas, your tip fixed the problem in one second!
Strange. That does not explain why your command with the
older version of pcomb did succeed. Unless you used double
quotes there.
Would be useful to have the right syntax on the manual page as well though...
Well, you can point out every oddity of every system Radiance
runs on.
Regrads,

I have used that version of pcomb quite a lot and (as per the manual
page) I have always used in that format without any problem...
The radiance manual pages are my on-line bible, to be believed and never
questioned! 
Thanks again,
