Greetings !

   I'm attempting to translate a pov file that has #declare's written
 in French. I'm hoping one of the French speaking people that frequent
 this group will be kind enough to provide me with the English equivilants
 for the words listed below. I have some ideas as to what they mean but
 instead of embarrasing myself I think it wiser to to just ask.

 Arbres  =  Tree ?
 Feuille =
 Taille  =
 Moyen   =
 Ecart   =
 Alea    =
 Allure  =
 Branche =  Branch

 Thank you,

OK, someone should check these, these are my interpretations...

Arbres = Trees
Feuille = Break into lower levels? (number of levels?)
Taille = Cut (subdivide)
Moyen = Means (averages)
Ecart = Variation
Alea = NO IDEA!!!
Allure = Pace (Spacing maybe?)
Branche = Branch

I'm probably just made myself look stupid... ;-)

Hope it helps a little anyway... there will hopefully be someone more
informed :)

Lance.

Thank you Mr. Birch. Every little bit helps for the monolingual impaired.

Well, I speak french, so let's see if I can give this a try. Of course, some
of the meanings will depend on the context, but the fac that you have tree
and branch should give me a pretty good idea.

> Arbres  =  Tree ?  - Yes
> Feuille = Leaf
> Taille  = Height
> Moyen   = Average
> Ecart   = Gap
> Alea    =  Not sure here. Had to check the dictionairy on this, but if its

> Allure  = I'm not sure here either. Typically Allure means speed or
bearing. In this case, I assume it's bearing.
> Branche =  Branch


Hope that helps,
If that doesn't clarify something, perhaps you can give the snippet of code
so I can try to make more sense of it.

arbre=tree
feuille=leaf
taille=height  of tree (or perhaps length of leafs)
moyen=average
branche=branch
alea must be random part in the tree generation
allure perhaps speed or bearing ?

I hope it can help you

In case anybody is interested I'm trying to translate the tree.inc
file at the following link:

http://www.chez.com/pidou/arbres.htm

If successful I might be making yet another tree macro out of this.

Cheers !

Yes sir. I got a return of maybe 40% of the words entered and the majority
of those are dissimilar with the answers I recieved from the native speakers
of the tounge. When in doubt go with the live body I always say - sometimes.
