Hi,

over the past decade of using POV-Ray, I came up with a small list of
features that would be nice to have for the render window.

Focus Movement
To be able to move the contents (dragging) of the render window not only
with the scroll bars but also by using mouse-button-down mouse movement.

Zooming
Ability to zoom in or out by using the mouse scroll wheel.

Area Rendering
Not only rectangles, but also support for any shape by offering a lasso
selection tool (like Adobe Photoshop), a circular/elliptical selection
tool, and multi-selections (using SHIFT or ALT while marking more than
one area). A tiny bar with these tools could appear and disappear by
right-click or double-click on that window or clicking that par's X
button (close).

MAYBE: Shape Info
Not sure if that idea can be done: on mouse-over on any part of the
rendered image, a popup (info or hint label) appears telling what
item(s) of the scene file are responsible for that particular area.
Might help to trace down errors in scene code writing.

Please give a feedback about these ideas. Thanks.
