I've been cleaning up the isosurface tutorial in the docs, mostly image
formats and some grammar and wording as I come across it ... anyway In
this section:
http://wiki.povray.org/content/Documentation:Tutorial_Section_3.2#Specifying_functions
I haven't the vaguest idea what this sentence is getting at: "With the
equation of a sphere x^2+y^2+z^2 = Threshold we get:" ... then code
example just below it ... threshold Threshold seems ALL wrong to me. The
threshold keyword expects a float value were as the above equation would
set Threshold to a vector ... correct? What am I missing here?

Here, "Threshold" is a previously declared user variable. It should be a
float.
The only thing would be to explicitely state that it must be a float.

thanks ... just as I thought, that sentence is misleading
