I tried to fix all problems mentioned for the insert menu.  Here is the
current list of changes:

Insert menu 10 - changes (since beta 4)

- Statements menu texts have global_settings {} edited out of each of
those that had it in there. (Bob)
- Added parametric preview, along with missing small cubic preview. (Bob)
- Parametric.txt renders okay (or better anyway). (Bob)
- The Images.pov and Images.ini and Shapes.pov for the larger previews
include parametric. (Bob)
- fixed orthographic camera
- fixed rainbow
- fixed blob shape (cylinder component)
- added ordering and separator to 'statements'
- fixed varience->variance in camera and media
- fixed prism shape (linear_spline)
- reworked the camera menu using most of Bob's suggestions
- converted parametric.bmp from 24 bpp to 8 bpp
- corrected 'superellipsoid' spelling in Shapes (shorter versions)

If there is anything i missed or anything new that needs to be changed
please mention.

I guess only the Windows platform.

I had changed the prism.txt to be able to use quadratic and cubic splines
instead of only linear *(it really needs separate menu entries), as well as
some other things mentioned that you had fixed.  Between the two of us maybe
there should be nothing wrong now.  Wishful thinking.
So the file I uploaded at pre-beta.binaries might have all that working okay
too.

Hmmmm.  24 bit color for the small parametric.bmp?  I used +fs4 in the ini
file before switching it back again to +fs.
Dang.  I found that the color depth is broken here in beta2 then; and
perhaps might be fixed now if I read in the changes.txt at www.povray.org
saying "massive changes to output" as meaning so.

Thanks Christoph.

Christoph is talking about the insert menu, which is part of the standard
full-package.  The contents are obviously the same on every platform (that
offers a GUI): Windows and Macintosh

BTW i have never seen the illustrations on Mac.  The menu itself (in tree
form) i saw in some screenshot from you, but there was no picture visible.

Correct, the pictures are not visible yet because there are some parts of
the template menu changes that are not complete yet.  However, they can
actually be stored (but they aren't included yet because they would just eat
up space for no reason).  One difference compared to the Windows version
will be that once images are visible, they will be stored JPEG format by
POV-Ray.
