For specifying textures according to a base (image) map.  The textures go
where indexed colors are; so say you have a simple black and white line art
image used as the material_map, as long as the palette index is 0=black and
1=white:

material_map {
 gif "image.gif"
    texture {Marble}
    texture {Sand}
}

I need to tell you that this was the wrong group to post in (povray.moray
even better than povray.general), only for uploading utility files here at
povray.binaries.utilities.
