radiance graph | cygwin mess up?

Hi Raphael,

Thanks so much for your feedback, that gives me a lot of insight!

I tried to run
[.]rcalc -e "abs(x)=if(x,x,-x);cond=abs($7)+abs($8)+abs($9)" >
raytrace_sample.dmp

But rtrace & rcalc run into a standstill, and output is not being created.
Could this be due the fact I'm a poor bugger on cygwin?

I tried to run:

$ rcalc -e 'abs(x)=if(x,x,-x);cond=abs($7)+abs($8)+abs($9)' pointdump.tmp >
test.dmp

Where rtrace output being located in pointdump.tmp, which runs without
errors, but the file created is empty... -a 7th/8th/9th variable being
present in the file-

However, so far my script is just using $1 $2 $3 so also these lines haven't
been showing up so far.

The suggested idea for counting bounces is brilliant, wouldn't have come up
with that! Thanks so much. I think I'll color rays in the graph according to
how often they bounce; the more often, the lighter they get since the light
will be more diffused accordingly.

//One of these days I'll do myself a favor and get a linux box I promise :wink:

Thanks again for your feedback!

Jelle.

Sorry again! The rcalc call was not totally right. Here is the corrected version:

ximage trace.pic | rtrace -ab 1 -ds 0.2 -dr 6 -dt 1 -otodp -h -x 1 -i ok.oct | \
rcalc -e 'abs(x)=if(x,x,-x);cond=abs($7)+abs($8)+abs($9);$1=$1;$2=$2;$3=$3;$4=$4;$5=$5;$6=$6;$7=$7;$8=$8;$9=$9' > raytrace_sample.dmp
