Does Radiance specify[1] a standard ASCII format for RGB output? I've observed two "defaults":
* rtrace, rcalc - RGB fields separated by tabs. Sensor records separated by newlines. $ vwrays -vf myview.vf | head -n 1 | rtrace -ab 0 -h model.oct $ 0.000000e+00<TAB>0.000000e+00<TAB>0.000000e+00<TAB><CR> * dctimestep - RGB fields separated by spaces. Time-series records separated by tabs. Sensor records separated by newlines. $ gendaymtx -m 4 city.wea | dctimestep -n 8760 model.dc | head -n 1 $ 0.000000e+00<SP>0.000000e+00<SP>0.000000e+00<TAB>0.000000e+00<SP>0.000000e+00<SP>0.000000e+00<TAB>... Is there any reason to think that these two format specifications should be unified in the standard distribution (e.g. fields separated by spaces, time-based records separated by tabs, spatial records separated by newlines)? How many tools would be broken in the process?
