Win32 POV-Ray Matrix Calc version 1.1 with cut-n-paste directly to POV
now available! 44k in p.b.u

To paste code into POV, just click the 'copy' button and the program
will write POV code to the clipboard. To paste a matrix from POV into
the calc, highlight the text in POV and copy it, then click the paste
button in the calc. IMPORTANT: for matrix code to be properly pasted
into the calc, the first six letters of the clipboard string must be
"matrix". This means you must highlight the code to be imported
beginning with the 'm', not at the beginning of a line. Spacing between
"matrix", seperators and numbers does not matter.

What does the program do, specifically?

-- 
main(i,_){for(_?--i,main(i+2,"FhhQHFIJD|FQTITFN]zRFHhhTBFHhhTBFysdB"[i]
):_;i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" ":(_=0,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Warp -*/

Have you not heard of the POV-Ray matrix transform?
matrix <Ax,Ay,Az,Bx,By,Bz,Cx,Cy,Cz,Dx,Dy,Dz>
It can do any linear transformation on an object including translation and
shearing, and series of tranforms can be multiplied together to nake one
matrix.

What about shearing in a particular plane?

This is a pretty condescending question to ask Warp,
(who, no doubt, has *heard* of 'matrix transform').

Maybe this is not a program for povray.general.

I appreciate the effort, but a little more info would help.

JMHO,

  Ok, I didn't ask quite well. Let's modify the question a bit:

  What does the program do that you cannot do in povray itself?

  I think it's easier to read a series of rotates, scales and translates (which
are internally converted to a matrix anyways) than a matrix.
