Even if it is well covered in the docs a few hints and examples from someone who
knows how to do it is worth a lot. It is said that "a picture is worth a
thousand words". Or in this case an example is worth a thousand words ;)
I would if I could but I can't so I don't. :)
And RTFM is so bad mannered, especially in povray.newusers. The manual is
information dense and it can be difficult to find what you need or to know that
you have found it when you do.
