|  |  | The following code produces the parse error
'Expected 'fractal keyword', float function 'tan' found instead.
According to the docs (6.5.1.6) tan is a valid function for julia fractals
all the other trig functions (sin, cos, asin, acos, sinh, cosh, asinh,
acosh, tanh,
atan and atanh) work fine
julia_fractal {
   <-0.1,-0.2,-1,-0.025>
   hypercomplex
   tan
   max_iteration 7
   precision 20
   pigment {rgb <0,0,1>}
  }

The same error message is given with the example above in POV-Ray v3.1g
as well.

What point are you trying to make here?  That 3.1g bugs are sacrosanct and 
will never be fixed, that bugs which are present in both 3.1 and 3.5 should 
be reported in povray.bugs (and, I assume, not fixed in 3.5), or something 
else entirely? Post a reply to this message
