Thanks Chris, but looking in functions.inc, I don't see what the syntax
would be to specify say, the turbulence using an isosurface pattern
function. There is a comment in the file that says "some of these ...require
special parameters..." So does that mean that you can't specify all the
parameters of a pattern when using it as an isosurface? Or if you can, can
you give me an example? F_marble isn;t included in the 7.7 section and the
turbulence parameter isn't mentioned either.
Best,
D.
