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
).
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!
