Hi Paul. I was trying to recreate some of the Super Shapes at your site and
punched in the numbers shown for the SS1 and SS2 parameters. Alas, I did not
get anything like the images at your site. Can you tell me if I can use the
supershape.pov macro to generate the same images you show? Perhaps that is
not the right appraoch. Great work, in any event!
Best wishes,
Dennis
