Well, to be honest, I am getting a little cobfused.
The question for me is the following:

I want to display a df3 - file that holds 16 Bit measuring values that range
from 0 to 65535. I want povray to display each value in a different color. How
is that possible to do ? Do I need a color map at all ?
