Hi,

I'm too lazy to read through the entire manual, but yesterday I typed by
mistake 'cube' instead of 'box' (stupid, I know), and 'cube' was colored.
So 'cube' is a keyword, but what does it do?

Did you have shapes.inc included in your file ?

No, but even if I had, the word 'cube' wouldn't be colored.
I didn't say I could make cubes using a 'cube'-keyword, I'm just wondering
what the 'cube'-keyword is.

It is a keyword for the julia fractal, and means cube as in a*a*a. I
have modified POV to allow it to be used as a function(along with sqr),
and have no idea why it hasn't been done in the official POV.

You should :) The beauty and the beast only differ by the formula used
(sqr vs. cosh, iirc). Of course, you can hardly model anything
specific with julias (though I've tried) but still they are fun.

Just giving my 3.6 st for that Cray supercomputer.

I was wrong.  I did use Julia once!  See my image in pbi "inspired by Giger"
(or something like that) (Oh, it's a very old image!).
