HI KEN

Thanx for your help, but ...

No sorry  I think you missunderstand me.

I have a GIF File (a logo of a Company) and I want to transform it from the
picture Form into a raytracing able form (with vectors or something like
that.

If you know a solution please help me, because I don't want to "repaint"
this existing GIF to POVRay

Thanx

Markus
