I'm trying to put an image map on top of a closed cylinder.  Except
the cylinder dissappears where the image ends.  How do I just get my
image on the clyinder with color behind it?

The simplest method is probably to just put the image on a disc (or another
cylinder), being careful to keep the surfaces apart slightly.

  Or use a thin cylinder with the same diameter as the original
in an intersection. The pigment on the intersecting cylinder will
append itself to the end of the original.

If I'm understanding this correctly, all you need to do is layer another
texture under the image_map, something like this:

cylinder {
	POINT1, POINT2, RADIUS
	texture {pigment {color Red}} // this shows around the outside of the
image
	texture {
		pigment {
			image_map ...
		}
	}
}

Hope this helps,

Darius
