+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.I ltpict
+is a script that renders a four\-view HDR image of a Radiance luminaire
+or IES photometric file.  The
+.I \-i
+option tells it that the file name given is 
+an IES photometry file rather then a Radiance description of a 
+luminiare.  In this case, Radiance's
+.I ies2rad(1)
+is called with its default settings to convert the IES file into a 
+Radiance object.
+.PP 
+The four projections presented are the lower hemisphere
+(displayed in the upper left quadrant), the upper hemisphere
+(upper right), at the C0\-C180 plane (lower left) and at the
+C90\-C270 plane (lower right).
+.PP 
+Only one Radiance luminaire description or IES photometry file
+may be given.  No input is accepted on STDIN.
+.PP 
+The output image in HDR format is produced on STDOUT with
+the default dimensions of 1024 by 1024 pixels.  The dimensions
+may be overwritten with the 
+.I "\-d dimensions
+options which takes an integer that is divisible by two.
