I need some help with POV commands. Like which commands require
other commands. So far I have these commands require turbulence: 
lambda, omega, octaves, frequency. 

Does phase require a wave type? (ramp_wave, triangle_wave, etc.) 
Does a wave type require turbulence? Or is it separate?

I am guessing warp can also be by itself, and it does not require
turbulence or a wave type.

Could someone clear this up for me? Thanks. I did not find my
answers in the POV help file.

AFAIK all these commands can stand on their own, because there are default
values for all of them. (the default wavetype depends on the pattern)
