I don't know how to get to the mouse wheel events from X11, so I'm not using that information. The '+' and '-' keys affect zoom as stated in the man page, but the arrow controls are also not standards in X11 as far as I know, so I'm not listening for those. If you have some insight on how to handle such events, I can try, but we might confirm first that people use this utility or have a desire for it. The controls were designed to mimic those in rholo, which I and perhaps a handful of others still use.
I don't remember how I light the objects -- I think it tries to use the light sources, specular and diffuse materials, etc. You would have to look in the src/common/rgl* routines. There are no cast shadows (or interreflections, obviously). -Greg > From: Georg Mischler <schor...@schorsch.com> > Subject: Re: [Radiance-dev] Glrad on Linux > Date: April 25, 2016 10:55:12 PM PDT > > Ah yes, that's a much better speed. > > Most walkthrough viewers seem to use arrow keys for basic navigation. > Is the program even checking the mouse wheel, or is that a Mesa weirdness? > > Colors also seem rather high contrast.
