Hi Radiance community,

Is there anyway to get a progress report [similar to rpict] for rtrace?

Thanks,
Mostapha

Not as such. Unless it is started with a -y option, rtrace does not know how many rays to expect, so it cannot say how close to completion it is.

If you direct the output to a file, you can always check the file size as an indication of how much is done.

Thanks Greg. Checking the file size will do it.
