Hola,
I have a question about a new pattern and warp type that was added in
beta 24:
http://wiki.povray.org/content/Documentation:ToDo\CLReview#Beta_24
specifically the cubic pattern and cubic warp. I was able to figure out
where to add the pattern warp entry:
http://wiki.povray.org/content/Documentation:Reference_Section_5.3#Cubic
but whats up with the cubic warp? Should it go here:
http://wiki.povray.org/content/Documentation:Reference_Section_5.6#Mapping_using_warps
and or here:
http://wiki.povray.org/content/Documentation:Reference_Section_5.6#The_map_type_Option
Is it one of the listed types that are still under developement (3 and 4)?
I'd image there should also be a mention in the syntax diagram here:
http://wiki.povray.org/content/Documentation:Reference_Section_5.6#Warps
Finally in the keywords and identifiers list here:
http://wiki.povray.org/content/Documentation:Reference_Section_2#Identifiers_and_Keywords
I already see an entry for the "cubic" keyword that links someplace
else! Conflict or does parse phase associate those properly?
Jim

I'd say it's rather obvious.

Why would it go there? The cubic warp has nothing to do with image mapping
types.

The same keyword can be used for different purposes in different contexts.
If you want to make a list of keywords such that the keyword is a link
to the pertinent documentation, you should make several entries in such a
list, like:
- cubic (primitive)
- cubic (list pattern)
- cubic (warp)

well if it was THAT obvious I wouldn't have asked ... I'm not prone to
waste time (mine or others) when asking seems like to correct thing to do.

the descriptive passage in the change log seemed awfully vague to me!
hey we can't all be as sharp as you ;-)

yes I thought that might be the case ... thanks for the clarification.

You call it snide, I call it pragmatic.

I don't find anything pragmatic about the way you conduct yourself ...
Why don't we just do BOTH ourselves a favor and resign to stay out of
each others way. Deal?

Apparently my attempt at humor was completely lost.

I feel like smilies are like explaining the joke.

Warp's humor sense would require a too complex smiley, I guess... ;)

No, they are letting people know that there is a joke. With the lack of
inflection or body language in writing, it comes across as being rude
and sometimes hurtful. Add that to the differences in humour across
languages and even between different types of English it is highly
recommended that people use smilies. :-D
