Expressions for transforming nodes via pixel values.

string $cubes2[] = `ls -type transform "newCube*"`;
for( $each in $cubes2) {
float $u = `getAttr($each + ".translateX")`;
float $v = `getAttr($each + ".translateZ")`;
float $capValueF[] = `colorAtPoint -o RGB -u (($u+40)/80) -v (($v+40)/80) file1`;
setAttr ($each + ".scaleY") (($capValueF[0]+$capValueF[1]+$capValueF[2])*10);
setAttr ($each + "Lam.incandescenceR") $capValueF[0];
setAttr ($each + "Lam.incandescenceG") $capValueF[1];
setAttr ($each + "Lam.incandescenceB") $capValueF[2];
