Spectra

The database file contains optional optical data such as

  • standard solar spectra

  • large collection of CIE illuminants and light sources

  • reflectivity spectra

  • absorption spectra.

If you wish to use this data, just insert the data of interest to your database file or into a database{ } section of your input file.
