If I were to apply a "wood" pattern texture to an object in Povray 3.02,
with a transparent color, I would be able to get a kind of banding on
the SURFACE only of the object.  The texture is applied only to the
surface.

In Povray 3.1, if I apply a wood pattern to the emitting media of an
object,  I get nice glowing pancakes, or, I get a "volumetric"
application of my texture.  But it glows in the dark and each pancake
slice is transparent.

Suppose I want non-transparent, non-glowing, volumetric "slice."  How is
this done in 3.1?
