About this document ...

This document was generated using the LaTeX2HTML translator Version 0.5.3 (Wed Jan 26 1994) Copyright © 1993, Nikos Drakos, Computer Based Learning Unit, University of Leeds.

Special notes:

Because I don't have LaTeX installed on my system, I had to change some constructs to make them convert. I also didn't want to have too many inlined images. The changes include:

Mathematical
I replaced most mathematical stuff ($...$) by just emphasis (<EM>...</EM>). Larger equations I did by hand (some screen capturing and editing).

Vectors
Instead of an arrow over the name of the vector, I've prepended a ^ before the name as in ^vector.

Greek characters
First I had just alpha instead of the real Greek character, but then I found the set of Greek bitmaps at University of Massachusetts which look better (like [ALPHA]). Apparently, HTML+ will provide in a Greek character set.

No tables in HTML (yet)
So I created a bitmap by hand of the only table in the document (again just a screen capture and some minor editing). The ASCII version in the ALT attribute doesn't work with lynx however.

Example images
I've created images for all examples and added links which are present in the HTML version. The images are all 300x300 JPEG files and are all quite small (between 3k and 14k). I plan on adding more images, but if anyone has .ray file illustrating certain constructs clearly I would be very pleased.

Links
The document now contains lots of links to other sections, keywords, options, and the like. There even is an index!

Enhancements
All the enhancements I could find are now also described in the docs. These include cblob, fracland, rotspline, sweptsph, gradient, projector, and Z buffer output. See the Enhancements chapter for a description of all these. Thanks to Greg Spencer for additional information on the projector light.

If you've got any remark on this HTML version, please mail me at jvzeijl@iso.estec.esa.nl and I will try to fix it. Any other contributions to the documentation will also be greatly appreciated!
