Yup, i'm a physicist.   Such things I understand well in my sleep.   I'd be
happy to explain scattering, quilt patterns, and whatnot in non-math terms,
with plenty of pictures.

An excellent idea.   The official POV docs show a nice series of images to
explain some things, but whoa! is it lacking in others.    For a long time
I've been wanting to make a table of superellipsoid settings and their
results.   I've been too lazy to actually do this, but now, Lance, you have
made the call for this Great Project, so now I will get real about this.
