How about giving the marble pattern a vector argument like the gradient
has it?
It is very usefull for things like
box {
0, 1
pigment {
gradient y
color_map {
[0.0 Black]
[1.0 Orange]
}
}
}
As you know the top and bottom of the box gets wrinkled with
Orange/Black Pixels if you don't scale and translate the gradient a bit.
This does not happen with
box {
0, 1
pigment {
marble
color_map {
[0.0 Black]
[1.0 Orange]
}
rotate 90*z
scale 2
}
}
This makes sure the top of the box is Orange and the bottom is Black and
no just near to it as it happens with a scale/translated gradient.
With giving the marble pattern a vector argument one could remove
the rotation. What do you think?

The marble pattern is nothing more than a gradient y with triangle_wave.
I don't think there is any need for such a new feature, especially
considering you can even design any other variation with a function
pattern quite easily.

I think the point is not that it is mathematical trivial but rather a
question of usability. However...
Thank you for your reply.
