Hi all...
I have four points and all of them are in one plane..
Also I know the normal vector and the distance from the origin of
this plane.
How can i draw a transparent plane.? (for example red plane but can see
backward)
I've searched it from tutorials, internet and newsgroups but i couldn't
be able to find it.
Thanks...

Tanju

As documentation says the syntax for plane is:

plane
    {
        <Normal>, Distance
        [OBJECT_MODIFIERS...]
    }

You said you have normal and distance, so just put it inside syntax.
To make it red and transparent add pigment as object modifier.

  plane{ MyNormal , MyDistance pigment{ red 1 transmit MyTransmitFactor } }

Consider also camera and light placement. It is usually necessary to see
objects :-)

Have you asked in povray.newusers ? It is designed for this kind of questions.
