Seems like using trace() in MegaPOV would be a much more efficient 
solution...it would also work with cylinder components, and scaled 
components.
Or if it is really the field strength you want, you could use 
eval_pattern() with the blob pattern...though this would also require 
MegaPOV.
Or you could use vtransform() to allow transformations to be applied to 
the components in your macros. Again, this would require MegaPOV.
