Technically you can't wrap a height_field object around a cylinder, but you
can create a mesh object that is just like it.

With POV-Ray 3.5 is an include file "shapes.inc" which has a macro to do
just that. (POV-Ray 3.5 is currently in the beta stage. You can download a
time-limited beta from www.povray.org for windows or mac.)
