Hi folks,

yet another new version to test:

https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray/releases/tag/v3.7.1-alpha.8889454

This version adds a new pigment pattern:

    pigment {
      user_defined {
        function { RED_FUNCTION },
        function { GREEN_FUNCTION },
        function { BLUE_FUNCTION },
        function { FILTER_FUNCTION },
        function { TRANSMIT_FUNCTION }
      }
    }

Each function is optional, in which case the corresponding component is
set to 0. For example, the following sets the colour to rgbft <x,y,0,0,z>:

    pigment {
      user_defined {
        function { x },
        function { y },
        ,,
        function { z }
      }
    }


Aside from that, the version also includes the data container update as
well as the transmission-based highlights/reflections knockout update.

Does it work like a parametric? Can you input the same values?

Never mind. Stupid question.

this version causes a warning then an error with an include file that i 
use often ... message followed by offending line

Warning: Float value promoted to full color vector where both filter and 
transmit >0.0.

#local OTO_FMask = function{ pattern{ pigment_pattern{ checker 0, 1 
warp{planar} } } }


Error: Bad operands for period operator.

#local Pt1 = Vec + x*(OTO_Get_Offset(Vec).x) + y*(OTO_Get_Offset(Vec+x).y);

3.7.1-alpha.8789352 doesn't have this problem(s)

Need more input -- what is OTO_Get_Offset(..)?

This has to be considered a flaw in the include file: Instead of

    checker 0, 1

it should use

    checker rgb 0, rgb 1


Just specifying a bare scalar where a colour is expected will promote
the scalar to all colour channels, including both filter and transmit,
which is rarely intended.

It's a bug in OTO_Get_Offset(), which had previously been lying somewhat
dormant, but has now been exposed.

The macro evaluates to something of the form

    V*S

where V is a vector expression and S is a scalar expression. It is used
in an expression of the form

    M().y

which evaluates to

    V*S.y

Since the dot operator binds stronger than the multiplication operator,
this should be equivalent to

    V*(S.y)

which is illegal, and has always been, since S only has a single dimension.

However, this was masked in earlier versions by an internal bug in
scalar-to-vector promotion (reported on GitHub as issue #130), which
caused POV-Ray to immediately promote S to a vector of the same
dimensions as V, when the correct behaviour should have been to first
evaluate (S.y) and then promote the result.


The proper solution would be to add more braces to the expression in
OTO_Get_Offset(), so that the macro expansion yields the proper desired
expression:

    (V*S).y


As a side note, the invoking statement is rather cumbersome, using an
expression of the form:

    x*(V1.x) + y*(V2.y)

This can easily be abbreviated to:

    x*V1 + y*V2

or

    <V1.x, V2.y>

(though the latter definitely requires the macro to be fixed).

come again ... are we looking at the same thing?

in the include file i'm seeing:

#macro OTO_Get_Offset(Cell)
   #local CX = Cell.x;
   #local CY = Cell.y;
   (1-Bev*2)*<1,1,0>*(.5-OTO_FOffs(CX,CY,0))
#end
